Dallas police and firefighters are on scene of a man who barricaded himself inside a house on Delaware Avenue in Oak Cliff.
Police responded around 6 a.m. to a “disturbance armed encounter on foot call.” Police believe a man threatened a woman and a juvenile with a weapon, barricaded himself inside, and then set it on fire.
The woman and the child are safe.
Fire-Rescue was called around 7:30 a.m. for the fire. The fire department said they were protecting surrounding homes from exposure, but they cannot enter the house while the man is still barricaded inside.
It’s unclear who is in the house, why they barricaded themselves in, and why or how the fire started.
The fire department said the home is heavily damaged.
