The 51-year-old man later surrendered to police, was arrested and taken into custody at 5:10pm, police said.
“We were looking for a safe and peaceful resolution to this incident where nobody else was injured,” Assistant Commissioner Graham Goodwin said.
Assistant Commissioner Goodwin said officers were preparing to search the house for guns. (ABC News)
