police were called to the house on a domestic incident. When
officers arrived, a woman yelled that the suspect had a gun. At
that point, about five police officers took position by their
vehicles and drew their pistols, shotguns and rifles.  Reports
said several peo­ple, including a woman carrying an infant,

arms up and was placed in a squad car.  During the
investigation, it was determined that the man got into a fight
with a woman, pulled out a knife and made threats. Officers
cleared the scene and took the suspect, 23, to jail. At the
