A SWAT standoff ended peacefully in Cobb County early Tuesday when an armed man who had held officers at bay for about seven hours surrendered to police.
The standoff began around 8 p.m. Monday when police got a call about the man walking up and down Akers Mill Road carrying a shotgun, AM 750 and now 95.5 FM News/Talk WSB reported.
When Cobb police officers arrived, the man had gone back into his apartment at the Columns at Akers Mill complex, and refused to come out.
The man gave up about 3 a.m. Tuesday.
A woman and a 4-year-old boy who were also inside the apartment were unharmed.
The man, whose name has not been released, was charged with domestic violence and cruelty to children.
