Sources tell Channel 11 that a 2-year-old girl was inside the home with her dad, who was barricaded with a gun.

The situation wrapped up just after 7 p.m., when SWAT crews used flash bangs. The 2-year-old was taken out of the house safely and the father, who has not been identified yet, is in custody.

The family also has two other children and sources say police stopped them from going home after leaving school.

Our crew on scene saw police vehicles from several area agencies and a SWAT vehicle.
