Two brothers were taken into custody Saturday evening following an armed domestic disturbance at a home in northwest Oklahoma City, police said.
Officers responded to the 2800 block of NW 20th Street after a dispute between the two men escalated, according to the Oklahoma City Police Department. One of the brothers was described as heavily intoxicated and reportedly in possession of a firearm.
When officers arrived, they were uncertain whether the armed man was inside the residence or in the backyard, and whether he posed a threat to himself or others. A large police presence was deployed to the scene, including K-9 units and drones. Fire personnel also stood by as a precaution.
Police said the two individuals inside the home were initially uncooperative but eventually exited and were taken into custody without further incident. No injuries were reported.
