CHICAGO - A 23-year-old man was arrested Wednesday morning after having a stand-off with SWAT and Chicago police in Cragin on the Northwest Side.
About 11:11 p.m. neighbors heard the man and his 19-year-old girlfriend arguing from inside an apartment unit in the 5400 block of West Fullerton Avenue, and called the police, Chicago police said. Once officers arrived, the girlfriend came out of the apartment and said she did not want to be involved.
From inside the apartment, the 23-year-old man told officers he had a gun and would begin shooting, police said. Officers found out that inside the apartment, the man was with his girlfriend’s 1-year-old son.
