is safe. a six-hour standoff started after police say a man beat his girlfriend... then stabbed his friend. it happened around 4-30 this morning near desert inn and rainbow. police say the victims had non- life threatening injuries. when officers got to the scene -- the man refused to leave the home... and police say he had a high- powered assault weapon. swat officers were called out... and several neighbors were evacuated. officers worked until ten a-m to negotiate with the suspect. he eventually surrendered. police have not provided the suspect's name. three children were taken away from a home after a baby died there. police say the baby was found unresponsive in an apartment around two this morning -- near charleston and lamb. metro told us earlier today this death was not suspicious. but now, three children under the age of seven are in the care of child protective services. metro says the parents of the baby are now under investigation. we will bring you more details as they develop.

(nats neighborhood / chimes) in a nice neighborhood like this... people dont want to be bothered and they don't want people knocking on their door... (nats walking) especially when the guy doing the knocking gives them the creeps. i shook his hand.

himself as gordon. gordon has an odd request. (nats dog wide shot) he wants to come in to your house so he can take a picture of where he buried his dead dog 20 years ago... i was just wondering if there was a way i could get into your house or into your back yard so i can take pictures? first off -- if he's taking pictures... what's he going to take pictures of the ground? ...the problem is, he knocked on more than one house... so unless he has a lot of dead dogs in peoples back yards... something seems off. i don't know. but he was so creepy. (nats kid on bicycle) i just thought it was odd that he skipped the houses in the neighborhood that didn't have kids. he only went to the ones that had kids. (nats neighborhood cars?) this mom called the police and talked to her neighbors. (nats garbage can) thats when she found out... they have seen his car

it almost feels like he knew which houses already had children in it now she says theres almost no way this could be a coincidence. it's scary when it comes to your children. because it's like the most important thing in your life when the police came out here they didnt find gordon... so theres not really much they could do. mom says if you see anyone who description -- big guy, mid 30s, red shirt, red backwards baseball cap. please call the police. live in henderson, adam herbets, fox5 it's been a windy start to monday...
