LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – A man was arrested early Wednesday after he threatened a woman with a gun for hours, according to Lincoln police.

Lincoln police said Stanley McDuffie, 50, got into an argument with a 42-year-old woman, who locked herself in a bedroom for safety.

McDuffie allegedly entered the room, taking his phone along with a lock box with a gun inside. Lincoln police said McDuffie then went back down and the woman heard two gunshots. No one was injured.
