CINCINNATI — A man is in custody after a SWAT situation at a home in East Price Hill Tuesday night.

Cincinnati police and SWAT units were seen on McPherson Avenue before 9 p.m. after a man reportedly fired multiple rounds outside a home following an altercation. At around 11 p.m., three children were seen ushered out of the home after SWAT units used what appeared to be a flashbang.

The man who fired shots was then taken into custody.

Police said no one was injured.

According to court documents, Thong Van Dang is facing charges of abduction, discharging firearms and aggravated menacing.

At his arraignment Wednesday morning, his defense attorney claimed Dang fired the shots because he was defending himself from an intruder.
