OSHKOSH (NBC 26) — Everyone is all right after a 35-year-old man was accused of threatening people with a gun inside an Oshkosh home early Monday morning.
Oshkosh Police blocked traffic along South Main Street after they were notified about the disturbance.
Authorities say the man was pointing a gun at people and threatening to shoot them.
Several people, including children, were able to escape.
SWAT officers were then able to go inside the home and search for a two-year-old child.
Once the child was removed, officers found the 35-year-old man hiding under blankets on his stomach on a mattress with a loaded handgun underneath him.
He was taken into custody, and another child was found inside the home unharmed.
Police say the 35-year-old man had an outstanding warrant and will likely face more charges.
