A tense standoff with an armed man barricaded in his Blaisdell Avenue residence Wednesday night came to a peaceful conclusion when the man surrendered to police.

Frederick W. Angell II, 27, was sent to McKean County Jail following an early morning arraignment Thursday. He is charged with terroristic threats, a first-degree misdemeanor; recklessly endangering another person, a second-degree misdemeanor; and disorderly conduct, a summary offense.

According to information released early Thursday by Bradford City Police, the incident began at 8:54 p.m. Wednesday with a call for a domestic dispute at 14 Blaisdell Ave. involving a male with a firearm.

“While responding to the residence officers were advised of multiple 911 calls regarding shots fired in the area of the residence,” police stated. Officers arrived on scene and attempted evacuating an adult female and two young children from the residence.

“We also briefly observed the suspect, Frederick Angell II, outside the residence, near the driveway, he then went back into the residence through the back door and barricaded himself inside the residence where he armed himself with a shotgun,” police stated.

Angell was on the phone with a dispatcher from the McKean County 9-1-1 Center, and made threats to kill law enforcement officers, police stated.

“At this point officers were able to get the female and her children to leave the area of the residence for safety reasons,” police stated. “Officers also evacuated the neighborhood surrounding the residence as a precaution.”

Congress Street was closed, and area streets were blocked as well.

“Officers then surrounded the residence and made many attempts to communicate with Angell so that he would exit the residence and comply with officers,” police stated. “Eventually Angell complied and exited the residence through the front door where he was secured and escorted to the patrol vehicle.”

The female told police that Angell had gone into the backyard of the residence and fired a handgun into the air while in her presence, “and while two small children were inside the residence. Evidence was collected from the scene before officers cleared.”

The city police were assisted on scene by Bradford Township, Foster Township, University of Pittsburgh at Bradford police, Pennsylvania State Police and the City of Bradford Fire Department.

Angell was arraigned early Thursday morning by District Judge Rich Luther. Bail was set at $50,000 and he was remanded to jail. Angell is set to appear in Central Court Oct. 4.
