MCKEES ROCKS — Police say a small-town Pennsylvania politician engaged a SWAT team in a six-hour standoff after threatening his son with a bat and barricading himself in his home.

McKees Rocks Borough Council President Keith Schwab was jailed Sunday on charges of terroristic threats and recklessly endangerment.

An arraignment for the 53-year-old is scheduled today.

Police say they called the SWAT team in after hearing what sounded like Schwab loading a rifle in the basement. They say he threatened officers.

The SWAT team used gas and a bean bag round to subdue Schwab after nearly six hours of negotiations.

No injuries were reported.
