SWAT teams were called out to a home in Springfield Township Thursday morning where a man threatened to harm himself or others with what looked like a real gun.

Springfield Township Police say they responded when 19-year-old Brandon Riley barricaded himself in the residence on Carper Avenue around 9:30 this morning.

"The initial call was that we had a subject with a gun and that he was wanting to hurt himself or someone else or both. We evacuated the home, set up a perimeter, he held up in the house for a few hours", according to Springfield Township Police Captain Ken Ray.

After a short standoff, the SWAT team moved in and arrested Riley without further incident, Ray said.

The weapon turned out to be an air-soft pistol modified to look real. Ray says, "What he showed his mother...turned out to be an air-soft gun, and the orange tip had been painted black to make it appear as a real gun".

Riley is charged with inducing panic, a fifth-degree felony. He remains in the Summit County Jail.
