       The alleged gunman barricaded himself inside of the residence, where the SWAT team was called.

       On 2:20 p.m., a Chicago police spokesman said that SWAT negotiators successfully convinced the surrender without incident.

       “No injuries to officers, suspect, or three children in the residence,” spokesman Tom Ahern said in a tweet.

       Authorities didn’t immediately say whether criminal charges were pending.
