SWAT units were on the scene of a domestic incident in Homewood early Tuesday morning.

Pittsburgh police said SWAT was in the 7000 block of Idlewild Street for an armed male barricaded inside a house at around 4:30 a.m.

Officials at the scene told Channel 11 that the suspect took a gun from a woman. She got out of the house and was assessed by medics for minor injuries.

Police said SWAT units made contact with the suspect via cell phone. He said he was not inside the house and provided a secondary location where he said he would meet and speak with them. The information proved to be false and SWAT continued with operations at the original location on Idlewild.

Officials said just after 6 a.m. that units went inside and didn’t find the suspect.
