Miami Herald Staff photographer Walter Michot shot this picture of SWAT team members in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday morning.

The uniformed men are walking away from a house after a three-hour standoff ended peacefully.

An armed man locked a woman inside a bathroom about 4:45 a.m. SWAT team members surrounded the home, as police negotiators persuaded the man to turn himself in about 8 a.m. 

Here is the story.
