One Man in Custody After Overnight Stand-Off

LONGVIEW — Authorities in Longview say a stand-off is resolved. Officers responded to a call of an armed subject in the 1100 block of Rosedale Drive around 11:55 Sunday night. The caller told dispatchers that a man was in his yard in the 400 block of Sycamore and was firing a gun. When the caller went outside and told the man to stop, he pointed the gun at the caller and threatened to kill her. Officers attempted to make contact with the suspect at 404 West Sycamore Street, but he refused to answer the door. While officers were on-scene, the suspect pointed a laser at an officer’s vehicle and later fired additional shots.

The Longview Police Department Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team and the Crisis Negotiation Team responded to the scene and attempted to establish communications with the suspect, but he did not respond. Around 6:10 Monday morning, the SWAT team made entry into the residence and took Brandon Biddle, 28, into custody. No one was shot or injured during the incident. Biddle has been booked into the Gregg County Jail for aggravated assault.
