Police respond to standoff in Ross Township

It happened Saturday night around 9:30 pm.

Ross Police spent hours in a standoff with a man with a warrant inside of his Tadmar Avenue home Saturday night.

Officers were looking for Daniel Thomas, 40, around 4 p.m. Saturday when officers observed a light come on inside of his home. An officer saw Thomas “pacing around, loading a handgun and aiming it,” according to a release from Ross Township Police.

Police say Thomas is not allowed to have a gun under state law and is a known danger to himself and others.

Several officers responded, including the North Hills SRT, and attempts to get Thomas to exit the home continued for hours. Allegheny County Police provided armor support.

According to police, during this time Thomas shot arrows out of the window of the home at SRT officers. He also allegedly made several verbal threats.

The standoff eventually ended after a few hours and Thomas was taken into custody.

No injuries have been reported.
