An armed man has surrendered to Henry County police more than eight hours after he barricaded himself inside a home with a child, officials said.

Police were initially sent to the 100 block of East Atlanta Road in Stockbridge to investigate a domestic incident, Capt. Randy Lee told AJC.com.

The man had been involved in an argument with a woman in the home, Channel 2 Action News reported. When officers arrived, police said he locked himself in the home with the child and refused to come out, the news station reported.

The man was armed with a handgun, according to Lee.

After hours of negotiations, the man surrendered, Channel 2 reported. No one was hurt during the incident.

The man’s relationship to the child has not been released.
