Barricade Situation Ends Peacefully In West Oak Lane

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A tense barricade situation ends without incident in Philadelphia's West Oak Lane section.

It happened along the 2100 block of Homer Street, around midnight Wednesday.

Police say they were responding to a call from a woman, who claimed a man inside her home threatened to open fire if police were called.

"When police arrived on location they saw a 43-year-old female on the second floor roof of that house," said Philadelphia Police Insp. Chief Scott Small. "She was on the roof hiding from a 46-year-old male that she had  just served a protection order on."

The suspect eventually surrendered and no one was hurt.
