A barricade situation that began as a domestic incident Saturday in suburban Schiller Park was resolved peacefully after several hours, authorities said.
The Schiller Park Police Department said officers responded to a domestic dispute in the 3700 block of Ruby Street in the afternoon hours after one of the subjects threatened a family member with a gun. The family members were able to escape, but the suspect barricaded themselves in the residence, police said.
Schiller Park police tried to get the suspect to surrender, but were unsuccessful and called in the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System's Emergency Services Team, which has expertise in negotiations.
In an update at 7:34 p.m., Schiller Park police posted on Facebook that "The situation on Ruby has been peacefully resolved. Thank you to all the residents who were inconvenienced by this, your understanding made our jobs a lot easier."
The suspect was taken into custody without and taken to a local hospital for evaluation, authorities said. They are expected to face charges one released from the hospital.
