LEMON TOWNSHIP --A standoff ended peacefully after a man held police at bay for more than eight hours in Wyoming County.

Troopers told Newswatch 16 a man threatened someone with a gun, and barricaded himself in his home near Tunkhannock around 6:00 P.M. Tuesday.

State police said it started when that man was at a bar with his wife and a fight broke out.

The woman was injured and taken to the hospital. Officials haven't said how badly she's hurt or how she was injured.

Authorities used flash grenades to get the man out of the house just before 2:30 A.M. on Wednesday.
