Man Attempts To Lure Officers

KILBUCK TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WPXI)— Ohio Township police said they were initially called to a home on Old Camp Horne Road in Allegheny County Wednesday for domestic violence. When officers started arriving at the scene, they quickly learned it was a ploy to lure them to the house, however. Police said a man in his 50s came out of the home with a machete in one hand and a gun aimed at them in the other. He then ran back inside the home. From there, police said they backed off and called in a SWAT team. Negotiators worked for the next three and a half hours to get the man out. He eventually came out and was taken into custody without any problems. The name of the suspect or any charges he might be facing have not yet been released. He was taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
