[Update] SFPD Takes Barricaded Individual at Parkmerced Into Custody After Standoff

Hostage/crisis negotiators were on the scene at Parkmerced in San Francisco Monday morning, after a man barricaded himself inside an apartment after allegedly making threats. The subsequent standoff lasted seven hours.

The situation began around 6:30 am Monday, as KRON4 reports. Officers from Taraval Station responded to a call about an individual "breaking in and making threats" on the 400 block of Gonzalez Drive.

The individual may have been experiencing a mental health emergency.

Video from the Citizen app showed police surrounding a building, and police tape cordoning off a large area.

Update: As KRON4 later reported, the situation was resolved as of 2:17 pm, with the man safely taken into custody. Officers reportedly "coordinated and developed a strategic plan and utilized the assistance of SFPD’s Crisis Negotiations team" in order to resolve the incident without injury.
