Man surrenders after East Liberty hostage situation, SWAT called in

Pittsburgh Police were called to an apartment building on Collins Street in East Liberty shortly after 10pm Wednesday night for an armed and hostile man.

When police arrived, the man reportedly threatened officers and then barricaded himself inside the apartment building, effectively making all of the residents inside hostages.


SWAT was brought in to protect the other residents of the building. They were able to safely evacuate everyone from the building.

Police say they made efforts to make contact with the barricaded man, but were not successful. Police used gas munitions and the suspect eventually surrendered. He was taken into custody and taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
