Houston police said a man told family members he would kill them all and then kill himself.

HOUSTON – A man was taken into custody following a SWAT standoff in northeast Houston on Sunday.

Megan Howard, commander of the Tactical Division of the Houston Police Department, said the incident at the 2500 block of Charles Road in northeast Houston began around 12:30 p.m. when police responded to reports of family disruption.

Police said a man was engaged in a fight with a neighbor and told his wife and other family members that no one would leave and that he would kill everyone, including himself.

The man’s wife and other family members, including a child, were able to leave the house unharmed, the police said.

Police said the man refused to leave the house when they arrived. After a while, police said he came out, but he went back inside.

“This was a very tense, stressful situation,” said Howard.

When SWAT and a hostage negotiation team showed up, the man came back outside, police said. This time he told officers that he just wanted to go home, Howard said.

When the suspect turned to go back inside, Howard said a K-9 officer was on duty and the suspect had been knocked to the ground. She said the suspect fought and even tried to drag the dog into the house, but the officers were able to approach the man and handcuff him before he could go back inside.

Howard said officers found two guns in the house.

The man was taken to an area hospital.
