Multiple law enforcement agencies, including a SWAT team and members of the Endicott Bomb Squad were called to an apartment in the Town of Union, for reports of an armed man who threatened to kill himself using a handgun. Law enforcement was on the scene of 646 Glendale Drive for several hours last night. Officers tried to negotiate with the man who they believed was held up on the second floor. But when the man never responded to negotiators, the Endicott Bomb Squad used its remote-controlled robot to check on the man’s condition. But they found that no one was inside. Authorities said they were acting on information from the man’s mother. Police will continue to search for the man, who is still believed to be suicidal, but does not pose a threat to anyone else.
