BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Law enforcement authorities have arrested Brandon Lyon,  36, following a 15-hour standoff at a home in Bismarck.

Bismarck Police Officer Pat Renz says the man surrendered to police after officers fired six rounds of tear gas shortly before 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. The man was able to walk out of the house on his own.

The incident began about 9 p.m. Monday when the man threatened to kill another man in the home. The second man and a woman fled and contacted police.

Police fired tear gas a number of times Tuesday morning. At one point, police heard shots fired and officers did not return fire.

Neighbors in the area were evacuated shortly after.

The man hasn’t been publicly identified. Renz says the man has “a very concerning” criminal history.
