Man arrested after standoff with Pittsburgh SWAT team

A man was taken into custody by Pittsburgh police early Saturday after a standoff in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood where a man reportedly brandished a gun at a neighbor during a dispute, authorities said.

Police and the city’s SWAT team responded at 3:50 a.m. to the 1300 block of Paulson Street for a dispute between neighbors.

When officers from the police Zone 5 station arrived, police said they were told by a male that a neighbor had pulled a gun on him during a dispute, police said.

When officers went over to speak to the suspect, police said he became combative, fled and barricaded himself inside the home. The city’s SWAT team was called to assist.

Negotiators were able to encourage the man to come out after more than an hour of communication.

The suspect was taken arrested without incident, according to police. No further information was currently available.
