Man surrenders after Omaha SWAT officers are called in

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man has surrendered without incident after a standoff with Omaha officers.

Omaha television station KETV reports (http://bit.ly/1M9bqeH ) that officers were first sent to the north-central Omaha home around 1 a.m. Tuesday to check a call about domestic violence. A woman had run from the home to a neighbor's house, leaving behind the man and a 2-year-old child.

A SWAT team was called in to handle the possible hostage situation, and officers used a bullhorn and cellphone in trying to persuade the man to come outside.

He was arrested after leaving the home. His name hasn't been released.

No injuries to the woman or child have been reported.
