One man was arrested after an early-morning barricade situation in the 16th Street Heights neighborhood of Northwest Washington, according to authorities.
Assistant Police Chief Jeffery Carroll said that at one point, a man pointed a gun at authorities and threatened them before closing the door of the house. He said that people were inside the house at the time of the incident and that law enforcement tried to communicate with the suspect inside.
Eventually, the suspect came out and was placed under arrest, police said.
The man police arrested was identified as Deaundrye Thompson, 36, of Northwest Washington, and he was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, police said.
Carroll said the incident was isolated and happened at what police think was an after-hours location. He said there appeared to have been a party, and a fight broke out during the gathering. It was not immediately clear what sparked the disagreement.
Carroll said no weapons were found initially, but officers were expecting to search the property. No one was hurt, and the streets were reopened just before 10 a.m.
