CEDAR PARK, Texas — A 12-and-a-half-hour standoff at a Cedar Park home involving the Central Texas Regional SWAT Team ended peacefully on Sunday evening.
Officers responded to a “barricaded subject” in the 400 block of Marigold Lane, the Cedar Park Police Department said.
The City of Cedar Park said the incident began around 4:30 a.m. after a call about a mental health issue where a man made threats to kill himself. His wife was able to get out of the house and let authorities know he had weapons in the house.
At one point on Sunday, authorities received information the man had injured himself. A tactical robot was deployed inside and the man fired a round off, the City said. He fired at least one more round at a later time.
Gas was later deployed in the house.
Just after 5 p.m., Cedar Park Police said the man surrendered peacefully.
