OAKMONT, Pa. —Authorities took a man into custody Wednesday after a standoff that involved Oakmont police and the Allegheny County SWAT team.

The incident began around 10:30 p.m. after a domestic dispute at a duplex on California Avenue, police said. When Oakmont police arrived, a woman ran from the home and said she was in danger. As she ran back inside a man could be heard shouting profanities, telling officers not to enter, according to Oakmont Police Chief Dave DiSanti.

DiSanti said the woman was the man's cousin. He was staying with her as a guest.

"He said, 'If you enter the premises, the war will be on,'" DiSanti said.

Police immediately set up a perimeter around the home, evacuated four nearby homes and called in the Allegheny County SWAT team.
