•A man is under arrest after barricading himself inside a Lynn, Massachusetts home with his young child, leading to an overnight standoff with police.
Police said the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families visited the Hanover Street apartment Friday evening to do a well-being check, when the man reportedly became upset and barricaded himself in the basement with his 3-year-old daughter.

Police negotiations with the man to release the child and surrender began Friday night, and ended by midday Saturday.
