REDWOOD CITY (KRON) — A man is in custody after he claimed he was suicidal and was barricaded in a Redwood City home Tuesday morning, according to Redwood City Police Department.

The 57-year-old man called 911 around 1:30 a.m., saying that he was suicidal and had taken a large dose of prescription drugs.

When police arrived to the home in the 500 block of Harrison Ave., the man was uncooperative, and the situation turned into a two and a half hour stand-off with police.

Police reported hearing gunshots from inside the home where the man had retreated.

A perimeter was set up around the home, several roads had to be closed, and schools were shut down.

McKinley Institute of Technology and North Star Academy were the schools closed.

The campuses will reopen at 10:00 a.m., according to school district officials.

At 7:55 a.m. police reported on Twitter that the man was safely taken into custody.

All streets except Harrison Ave. are now open.

Harrison will remain closed for officers to investigate.

No further information is available at this time.
