ATLANTA — A suspect is in custody after a SWAT situation in southwest Atlanta on Monday afternoon.
According to a spokesperson for the Atlanta Police Department, officials were on the scene at 765 McDaniel Street. That's located near the Heritage Station Apartments and Pyramid Grocery in the Pittsburgh neighborhood.
Police added that officers learned there was a dispute between a mother and her adult son at the location and were told that the son physically assaulted his mother at some point, threatening her with a firearm.
APD added that the mother was able to exit the home and contact police; however, "due to the nature of the call and the suspect's refusal to exit the apartment, responding officers contacted SWAT and hostage negotiators to assist with taking the suspect into custody."
After negotiations failed, APD said SWAT units forced their way into the apartment and took the son into custody. They added that no injuries were reported and the investigation continues.
