About 1:45 p.m., the man, 53, entered an alley from a home in the 1000 block of West Oakdale Avenue where a woman was with two dogs without leashes, police said.

A SWAT team responded to the area where the man was armed and inside a home, authorities said.
The dogs were taken to separate veterinary clinics where one succumbed to its injuries, officials said.
