SWAT team recovers 11 firearms after man threatens wife in San Ramon

( KRON ) — Police and the Central County SWAT team have recovered 11 firearms after a husband threatened to kill his wife in their house, the San Ramon Police Department said.

At approximately noon on Friday, police responded to the 2100 block of Canyon Lakes Dr. in San Ramon. The calls received were of a man in his residence threatening to kill his wife, police said.

After evacuating his wife from the residence, police began attempting to contact the barricaded suspect over the phone but were unsuccessful. “Out of an abundance of caution,” the street was closed, and residents were evacuated, police said.

Ultimately, the Central County SWAT team (San Ramon PD, BART PD, Walnut Creek PD, Pleasant Hill PD, and Martinez PD) was called onto the scene.

The suspect was then taken into custody, and police said no one was injured throughout the period of the barricade. Canyon Lakes Drive was re-opened approximately six hours later at 7 p.m., police said.
