Trump Tower in Chicago was placed on lockdown and saw a SWAT team respond after a woman wielding a rifle walked into the building on Wednesday morning.
Local police said the SWAT officers responded to the building around 11:25 a.m.
The SWAT team reported to an apartment on the 27th floor, where the armed woman “allegedly went after” [sic] claiming she was “tired of being abused by her husband,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The woman forced the SWAT team into a standoff that reportedly lasted three hours.
Officers also partially blocked off streets surrounding the Trump International Hotel and Tower. Authorities said the incident was “domestic-related,” and there was no threat to the public.
The incident occurred one day after former President Donald Trump was arraigned and pleaded not guilty on a 34-count indictment for falsifying business records.
The armed woman was taken into custody and brought to a hospital for evaluation, according to the Sun-Times. There were no injuries reported.
