SWAT standoff in north Houston ends with suspect jumping out of window

A SWAT scene in north Houston ended Thursday evening with a suspect jumping out of a second story window and police capturing him, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police officers were called around 2:30 p.m. to a burglary at a residence at 137 Van Molan Street, according to HPD SWAT Capt. Larry Baimbridge. The suspect apparently had a weapon and the homeowner said there were additional weapons located inside the residence.

Patrol officers attempted to call the suspect out but he refused. SWAT eventually responded and hostage negotiators tried to coax the suspect out, Baimbridge said.

Once gas was deployed and the suspect refused to come out, police officers evacuated the home next door that had five individuals inside, including four children.

Officers forced entry into the home, but the suspect fled out of a broken window. He then made his way into the neighbor's residence and eventually jumped out of a second story window and onto the garage, Baimbridge said.

The scene ended around 7 p.m., with the man being taken into custody with no injuries. It is unclear at this time what charges he may face.
