Several residents on Green Bay's west side were evacuated Sunday night, as police were involved in a stand-off with an armed man.

The incident lasted about five hours.

Police were called to Thrush St., just south of Velp Ave. about 9:30 Sunday night.

Police blocked off streets in the area, including Velp, and people in nearby homes were told to evacuate or hide in their basements for safety.

Police say the man had threatened suicide, but a woman he was related to was also in the home, plus he had fortified the house, had several guns, and was recently in the military.
