Philadelphia police and SWAT have been on location in Fox Chase with a person barricaded inside a home for the better part of late Thursday afternoon and evening.
According to authorities, a family member of a 40-year-old man on the 700 block of Emerson Street walked inside the 7th District Philadelphia Police Department with official paperwork for an involuntary emergency examination about 3:30 Thursday afternoon.
Police arrived at the residence within 15 minutes of the family member’s arrival to the district office and the man reportedly spoke to police from a window, asking to see the paperwork. Police then showed it to him, at which point he told them he was going to take a shower. Officials said, the man then began to open a safe where multiple guns were said to be kept and police declared the barricade situation.
