NBC10

A barricade situation inside a home on the 2500 block of North 18th Street in North Philadelphia ended without apparent incident.

SkyForce10 was over the scene as police were seen active near the house, which appeared to be located in the middle of the block. An NBC10 crew on the ground at the scene saw the suspect taken out of the home in a back alley, and it appeared that the barricade ended without further incident.

Philadelphia Police said that a male armed with a rifle fled on foot when seen by officers, and that he ran into the home on 18th Street. It was declared a barricade situation shortly before 9 a.m. and SWAT officers responded, police said.

This is a developing story and it will be updated.
