A man is in police custody Monday after an hours-long overnight standoff with SWAT officers in National City.
A home on D Avenue near E. 18th Street was surrounded by SWAT officers at about 9 p.m. Sunday where a suspect was believed to be barricaded inside with family members, including children, the National City Police Department said.
A large perimeter was established and some residences nearby were evacuated as a SWAT team arrived to negotiate with the person inside the home.
The standoff lasted for hours and, at one point, a person claiming to be the man inside called NBC 7 and said he was scared to come out of the home because he was innocent.
The suspect surrendered without force at about 1 a.m., NCPD said.
The children inside the home were safe and released to the custody of other family members, NCPD said.
