carl.macgowan@newsday.com 12:51 PM EDT, March 12, 2009 Suffolk police emergency units and several sheriff's deputies Thursday blocked off a section of a
North Babylon street where an armed man is in a standoff with police.
North Babylon High School has been locked down since the standoff began late Thursday morning at a house on the western end of Deer Park Avenue.
A deputy at the scene said cars and pedestrians are being kept two blocks away from the house to keep them out of rifle range.
One witness said the man, whom police have not identified, was at a window yelling at officers.
