A man was taken into custody following a SWAT situation in Pittsburgh on Wednesday evening.

Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz said officers were dispatched shortly before 7:30 p.m. for a domestic call along the 7000 block of Kelly Street.

An armed man had reportedly barricaded himself inside an apartment and was making third party threats against police, Cruz said.

SWAT, tactical negotiators, EMS and firefighters were also called to the scene.

Cruz said negotiators successfully convinced the man to leave the residence after a short period of time, and he was taken into custody.

Charges are pending. The incident remains under investigation.
