In Wisconsin, a man is facing charges after allegedly threatening to kill his parents and engaging in a prolonged standoff with police, during which he reportedly declared he would “kill everyone.”

Vance Lee, aged 33, has been charged with several offenses, including resisting an officer’s attempt to apprehend, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment with a weapon, and ten counts of illegal firearm possession by a felon, according to jail records reviewed by Law&Crime.

As detailed in a criminal complaint sourced by local Fox affiliate WITI, the incident unfolded on March 27 and 28 at his parents’ residence near 68th Street and West Brentwood Avenue in Milwaukee. Lee is accused of threatening his parents, allegedly descending the stairs with both a rifle and a handgun, and making threats to shoot them.

At one stage, Lee allegedly contacted his brother, ominously stating, “We are all dying today.”

Fearing for their safety, his parents remained confined to their bedroom, worried about their son’s intentions. They informed the police that Lee had threatened to “kill everyone” and planned to hide in the basement to confront any police response.

Despite their love for Lee, his parents expressed to authorities that they couldn’t endure his threats any longer, as noted in court documents.

On March 28, at about 8:45 a.m., police were dispatched to the home. Though law enforcement demanded that Lee exit, he allegedly would not come out, barricaded the home, and even used a shotgun to shoot down a drone from the house’s second floor.

The standoff continued into the night, and photos from the area TV station showed authorities deploying tear gas into the residence and parking at least one armored vehicle outside.

About 14 hours after the standoff began, at approximately 10:20 p.m. that night, Lee surrendered. Authorities reportedly found inside the home a shotgun, four rifles, five handguns, body armor, and 800 rounds of ammunition.

Lee allegedly admitted to drinking and smoking meth in the recent past. He was booked into jail and ordered to be held on $50,000 bond.

The defendant is set to appear in court on April 7.
