A man who broke into his neighbor's home opened fire at Altamonte Springs police officers early Friday morning, according to a press release. Altamonte police Lt. Paul Machovina said officers responded around 5:50 a.m. to a possible armed home invasion on the 500 block of Northbridge Drive. The suspect, later identified as Nicholas Lynn, broke into his neighbor's condo before returning to his home. When officers contacted Lynn, he claimed it was a hostage situation, Machovina said. A crisis negotiator talked to Machovina for two hours before Lynn came outside holding a handgun, Machovina said.
