The suspect then barricaded himself behind the stairwell of a building near the intersection of 7th Street and Vermont Avenue.Police called out SWAT to try and convince the man to come out. The man had multiple guns, according to police, so the SWAT team used multiple unmanned vehicles to get the weapons away from the man.
