An armed man barricaded himself late Saturday in a Dick's Sporting Goods in the Fairless Hills section of Falls Township, Bucks County, police said.

The incident, on Commerce Boulevard, began about 7:30 p.m. when a man reportedly went to the store's gun department and pulled a handgun, authorities said.
He forced a clerk to give him a shotgun, police said. The man then took the weapon and ammunition and went to the back of the store.
The store was quickly evacuated and no injuries were immediately reported. - Chris Mondics
