A Flathead County man is being held in connection with kidnapping his wife and shooting at police officers.

Zachary Torres, 29, was arrested Thursday night following a three hour hostage standoff with police.

Kalispell Police Chief Roger Nasset says officers tracked Torres to a home where he was holding his wife after getting a complaint call. After releasing his wife, Torres fires a shot toward officers during a standoff.

Police say the man surrendered late Thursday night.
