Late afternoon rains caused several roads throughout Pima County to be closed because of water flowing in various normally-dry rivers and washes. 

One of the most common closures that can be expected after a rainfall is Camino De La Tierra at the Rillito River.

A county employee said that the roadway here should be cleared of debris after the flow of water has stopped.

(AP) - A ride from here to there on Sun Tran is going to cost more starting this week.

The Tucson bus line is increasing its fares after the Tucson City Council voted in April to raise Sun Tran and Sun Van fares from a $1.25 to a $1.50 and express fares from a $1.50 to $2.

On Sun Van, the full fare goes up from $2.50 to $3, with the low-income fare now $1 instead of 80 cents.

A stand-off situation in Downtown at the Days Inn Motel ended this afternoon when the barricaded suspects surrendered to the SWAT team.

The stand-off started with an attempted robbery, Tucson Police said.

Investigators say a man tried to rob a cab driver in the parking lot of a Circle K. An altercation occurred and the suspect allegedly waved a gun at several bystanders.

The man then took off in a vehicle, with a woman inside. He later barricaded himself in the Days Inn Motel on Congress Street.
