A man who was pointing a gun at people Wednesday night was arrested after an hours-long barricade at a west valley apartment, Las Vegas police said.

Officers received a call at 7 p.m. about the armed man at an apartment complex at 9999 W. Katie Ave., near West Twain Avenue and South Hualapai Way, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Chulawudt Baker said.

The man, wearing a business suit, ignored police commands and ran into an apartment when officers arrived, Baker said.

The barricade is over but Metro's perimeter is still up around the area – this is at Katie and Jensen. Police and medical staff are starting to leave the scene #RJNow pic.twitter.com/lRw1JJJpzV
