Man arrested after standoff at midtown condo

That Atlanta Police Department said members of their SWAT team have taken a suspect into custody after being holed up in a midtown condo. 

ATLANTA — A man is in custody after a short standoff with police Sunday afternoon in midtown.

Atlanta police said they were called to a condo complex along 15th Street near Peachtree Street around 4 p.m. for a possible gunman barricaded inside a condo.

"The neighbors had called and said that the resident was creating a disturbance," Officer Lisa Bender with the Atlanta Police Department said.

When the officers arrived at the complex they said they thought they heard gunshots coming from the condo.

That’s when investigators said they called in the SWAT team.

Eventually SWAT officers were able to make their way into the man’s home and take him into custody.

There is no word yet on any charges the suspect may face.
