A mother and two children were rescued by a Rochester Police SWAT team this morning from the Chatham Gardens Apartments.
Police blocked off Kelly Street and surrounded the apartment complex after a standoff that started about 7:30 in the morning when a woman called 911 saying her husband was abusing her and had a gun. The SWAT team went in and rescued the woman and her children, who are one year and four months old. The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Police are searching for the man. They say he was armed and threatening to hurt himself and other people.
