ATLANTA - Police said officers arrested a man and safely removed a woman from a home after an hours-long standoff with law enforcement on Saturday night.
Police responded at around 6:45 p.m. to a report of gunshots at a home on Howell Street in southeast Atlanta and said a man had barricaded himself inside with a woman.
Police said they announced themselves, but the suspect refused to exit the apartment.
Police negotiated until the man, Demond Frazier, surrendered without violence. Officers learned he was wanted for a homicide by MARTA Police.
The woman made it out safely with "minor abrasions," police said, after law enforcement set a perimeter.
