A man with a gun walked into the 7-Eleven on Leary Way and 47th St. on Saturday night, sparking a strange standoff that shut down traffic in the area.

It began just before 11 p.m., and customers and employees were able to escape. A SWAT team and negotiator were called, and they watched as the gunman danced around the store, cleaning and exercising. Finally, at 1:40 a.m., the man put on his jacket and exited the store with his arms in the air.
