Arlington Heights police responded just before 6:00 PM Wednesday to a report of a domestic threat involving a gun in the block of 1500 North Patton Avenue Arlington Heights, IL. Police received a report that an elderly man was involved in some type of threat involving a gun.

Neighbors reported there is a younger male in his 30s or 40s that is the older man's son, who might still live at the house.

Several police officers carrying long guns were seen in the neighborhood. One resident in the neighborhood was told to get back in his house when he came out to see why a police officer with an "M-16 type rifle" was in his front yard. Another neighbor saw an elderly man in handcuffs about 6:30 p.m.
