(CNN)A standoff overnight between Massachusetts State Police and "several heavily armed men" in the woods ended Saturday morning with 11 arrests, authorities said.

The ordeal, which started during a police traffic stop, led to the shutdown of part of Interstate 95 and a shelter-in-place order for the surrounding area on a busy holiday weekend, police said.

The standoff lasted almost nine hours, but police were able to resolve the situation "through a combination of negotiation and tactical measures," including the use of armored vehicles, Massachusetts State Police Col. Christopher Mason said at a press conference.

All arrested individuals surrendered without incident, police said. Mason said a number of firearms were seized, but he declined to say how many.

MA has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, it also has very low homicide rates, go figure. Rolling through MA heavily armed is never a good idea. Stopping on the side of the road to refuel is even a worse idea. Gas’s up in RI where apparently they have permits for the weapons. MA is not that long South to North. Roll through and get to places that don’t care if you are armed to the teeth.
