TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - After six hours, a barricade situation in midtown has ended Monday evening.

Tucson Police shut down Columbus between Lee and Fairmount during the incident.

Officers on scene said neighbors called 911 about a man screaming. The mental health support team responded because the man was a threat to himself.

Sgt. Pete Dugan with Tucson police said the man was armed with a knife.
