LINCOLN HEIGHTS – A SWAT standoff in the 500 block of Matthews
Drive ended when police shot a man with a sponge-type pellet,
according to Lincoln Heights authorities.
A despondent and intoxicated man held a handgun to his head in the
front yard and threatened to kill himself several times between about 9:
30 p.m. Thursday until about 12:30 a.m. Friday, village police chief Ron
Twitty said Friday.
Hamilton County SWAT officers fired the sponge gun when he would
not surrender. The man was bruised in the side from the pellet and
taken to University Hospital for treatment, Twitty said. He was released
from the hospital and taken to the justice center.
Corey Mayberry, 25, has been charged with inducing panic and using a
weapon while intoxicated.
A SWAT incident last summer in Lincoln Heights ended when the man
shot himself and was seriously injured.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Police were searching for a suspect early Sunday in connection with an
Oakland shooting after no one was found when a SWAT team entered a home in the city
following an hours-long standoff, a police spokeswoman said.
The shooting was reported at about 10:15 a.m. in the 2600 block of Alvingroom Court, Oakland
police Officer Holly Joshi said.
The victim, a 19-year-old man, was taken to a local hospital where he was in grave condition
as of 9 p.m., Joshi said. ' Later in the day, police received information that the shooting suspect
was a resident on Alvingroom Court and the SWAT team was called out to the area.
Authorities eventually entered the home at about 8 p.m. and found the suspect was not there,
according to Joshi.
The standoff caused evacuations of homes nearby, as well as the closure of a portion of
MacArthur Boulevard. The residents were allowed to return to their homes, and the road was
reopened shortly after police determined the suspect was not there, Joshi said.
She said police are not releasing further details about the alleged shooter, but that
investigators are "still working diligently" to find the suspect.

FREMONT, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say police officers in Cupertino have shot and killed a man
suspected of two home-invasion killings after they tried to arrest him.
Police spokesman Bill Veteran says four Fremont SWAT officers joined by Santa Clara County
deputies traced the man to a Cupertino apartment, where they arrived Sunday with an arrest warrant.
Veteran says the man fled on foot and the officers fatally shot him about a block away.
Police say the man had a gun, but did not immediately say whether he fired it. His name has not
been released.
Authorities say they believe the suspect was linked to a Monday home robbery in Fremont that left a
49-year-old man dead, and a similar home invasion in Saratoga in December, when a 96-year-old
man was beaten and died two weeks later.

A man was arrested by members of the Ramsey County SWAT team in Shoreview after a five and a half hour standoff today, according to the
Ramsey County sheriff's office.
The man — Gregory A. Long, 41 — was pulled from a townhome, shirtless but in long underwear, and handcuffed in the snow at about 1:50
p.m., according to a witness. He is being held on suspicion of making terroristic threats.
Commander Mike Salter of the Ramsey County sheriff's office said neighbors called law enforcement at about 7:20 a.m. to report that a man
and a woman had been fighting outside the home in the 4300 block of Chatsworth Street North for about an hour.
When deputies arrived, the woman was outside and marked by "bumps, bruises and scrapes," Salter said.
She allegedly told officers that the man was inside the home and threatened to kill himself and anybody else — including police — who tried
to get him out of the home.
Salter said the sheriff's office tried calling the man, but he did not respond to cell phone or landline calls.
A couple of nearby townhomes were evacuated as a precaution, a sheriff's spokesperson said earlier in the day, and the county's SWAT
team called in.
Brad Robertson, a neighbor, tried leaving his home this morning for work but was sent back in by SWAT members.
"I tried to leave this morning but they yelled, 'Get back in your house! Close your garage door!'" he said.
"They r now speaking to him again with the megaphone. Telling him to come out with his hands up!" he wrote at 12:34 p.m.
A few minutes earlier, while talking to a Pioneer Press reporter on the telephone, Robertson saw a SWAT team approach the man's home,
break a sliding glass door and throw in what appeared to be a chemical irritant.
Three "pops" rang out at the same time — the reporter could hear them over the phone.
Robertson said the SWAT team backed away after the pops.
He said law enforcement had been blasting a siren at five-minute intervals throughout the morning and urging the man to come out or at
least to pick up his cell phone, Robertson said.
By early afternoon, SWAT teams were firing flash-bang distraction grenades into the home.
"They're inside the house!," Robertson wrote after watching law enforcement fire what appeared to be chemical irritants into the townhome.
They stormed through a ground-level sliding-glass door that had been smashed out earlier in the standoff.
"'Greg" is brought out shirtless, handcuffed on ground in te snow," Robertson wrote a minute later.
Salter did not say whether or not the man was armed, but did say no shots were fired at law enforcement during the siege.
He also said the man had an active charge for domestic assault out of another county.
Robertson posted shortly after the arrest, "All clear. What a day. I'm going to get lunch. That's all folks."
