According to a spokesperson with Dayton police , the caller told dispatchers that a man threatened to kill her.
When police arrived on scene, the man returned to the area with a gun and got into a car. Officers then issued a countywide call for assistance, or a Signal 99.
Police spent at least 25 minutes trying to de-escalate the situation until the man allegedly “brandished his weapon” at officers, according to Dayton Police Major Paul Saunders.
