On October 21 at about 8:05 p.m., Chicago police responded to a well‑being check after a 911 call reported that a man had barricaded himself inside a residence on the 13300 block of South Michigan Avenue on the Far South Side. The unidentified man, known to possess a firearm, remained inside for roughly five hours, during which a single shot was fired, and the standoff concluded without any injuries. He was taken into custody and now faces pending charges.
The 911 call indicated the individual had taken a gun and locked himself in the home, prompting officers to secure the area and engage in a multi‑hour negotiation. Over the course of the five‑hour encounter, police maintained a perimeter while the man stayed inside the residence.
When the situation was resolved, police arrested the man and listed pending charges related to the incident. No injuries were reported among officers or the public.
