LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office says after 12 hours of negotiations, a man surrendered himself to authorities.

LCSO said at about 6:45 p.m., Limestone County 911 received an emergency call reporting domestic violence at a home on Westmeade Lane in Athens.

According to police, the caller said that a man was armed with a knife and a gun and was trying to kill his wife.

When deputies arrived on the scene, they tried to make contact with the man, identified as 51-year-old Andre Dupree Foster, and the woman.

LCSO said Foster refused to open the door.

The deputies managed to have a short conversation with Foster via the door. During this exchange, the LCSO mentioned that he made comments suggesting he was contemplating suicide and persisted in his refusal to exit the residence.

Afterwards, deputies said they heard a single gunshot from inside the home.

However, LCSO found that the woman had already escaped and was safe at a neighbor’s home.

Given the critical nature of the circumstances and the involvement of weapons, Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin, alongside the Limestone County SWAT team, crisis negotiation experts, and the Athens Police Department, arrived on the scene to provide assistance.

Foster had barricaded himself inside the home and continued to resist surrender for several hours.

LCSO said after nearly 12 hours of negotiations, he peacefully surrendered without further incident.

Foster was taken into custody and taken to the Limestone County Jail, where he is charged with second-degree domestic violence (Assault).

A bond has not yet been set for Foster.
