WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A SWAT team was deployed to a home in West Valley City Saturday night after a domestic violence incident between two brothers.

WVC Police said they got the call around 7 p.m. for the incident between the two men near 2000 West and 3300 South. The suspect allegedly brandished a gun, and the brother who is considered the victim was able to leave the home and call police.

The suspect remained inside. Police said they sent a SWAT team out of precaution due to the suspect having a firearm.

The situation was resolved around 11:15 p.m. after the suspect peacefully surrendered. Nobody was injured.

"The subject in question, he was just going through a hard time financially and emotionally, and he was just having a bad day where everything came to a head," WVCPD Lt. Shane Matheson said.
