Macon Police say a man faces charges after he barricaded himself in a house and shot a weapon.

Police Officers and the SWAT Team were called to Rosen Avenue for a possible hostage situation around 4:45 p.m. on Saturday.

According to police, 38-year-old Oswald Walker barricaded himself in a house with a gun and threatened to kill himself.

Spokeswoman Jami Gaudet says SWAT team members and hostage negotiators worked to end the situation safely. They talked with Walker during the ordeal, but he continued to make threats to end his life and shoot officers.

Police says during the negotiations, shots were fired from the house.

Gaudet says Walker came out of the house around 8:15 p.m., but refused to comply with with officers' requests to put his hands behind his head.

Officers tased Walker, and transported him to the Medical Center of Central Georgia for an psychiatric evaluation.

A Macon man drowned at Lake Tobesofkee after saving three children in the water, that's according to Sgt. Sean Defoe with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.  

The body of 24 year old Michael Dewayne Jones was found in the lake Saturday evening around 8 p.m.

Coroner Leon Jones says Michael Dewayne Jones was a Macon-Bibb County firefighter.  The coroner says Jones has been on working with the department for about two weeks.
