Delaware County Neighborhood Locked Down for Armed Barricade

A neighborhood in Springfield Township was locked down for about four hours Thursday evening after a man believed to be armed with a firearm barricaded himself inside a home.

The lockdown ended shortly before 11 p.m., but it remained unclear if a suspect was in custody and if anyone was injured.

Police initially surrounded the house on Hillview Drive in the Delaware County suburb about 6:30 p.m., according to reports. A three-block radius around the house was blocked off.

It is unknown who was in the house other than a man allegedly threatening to shoot police.
