A suspect has been taken into custody after a brief standoff Wednesday morning in Austin.
According to Austin Police Chief David McKichan, police responded to an ongoing domestic situation at about 8:45 a.m. Wednesday in the 500 block of West Oakland Avenue. Initial information indicated that the suspect may have had a firearm.
The possible victim was contacted and secured upon officer arrival. Out of an abundance of caution, the streets near the area were shut down, a brief negotiation took place with the other party, and that person was secured by 9:25 a.m.
McKichan said there may be some continued police presence in the area as they continue to investigate this matter; however, there is no threat to the public.
The investigation is still ongoing.
