KILLEEN -
Police say a man who barricaded himself inside a home for nearly sixteen hours has been taken into custody without incident. Sean Michael Denny has been charged with aggravated assault for an incident that occurred before the standoff.

Members of the Tactical Response Unit arrived and began evacuating nearby residents. Killeen police prevented anyone coming within two blocks of the home during the standoff.
