UPDATE: New Information Released in Odessa Standoff

After a four hour standoff, Timothy Couch, 26, was arrested for two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

ODESSA, TX (KWES) - After a four hour standoff, Timothy Couch, 26, was arrested for two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On Wednesday morning at 2:41 a.m., Odessa Police responded to the 1500 block of East Century in reference to a domestic disturbance. 

The 24-year-old victim had called and said that her common-law husband was causing a disturbance.

The victim told police that Couch came home drunk and began throwing things around the house. 

She then went into her bedroom and locked the door. Couch forced open the bedroom door and pointed a gun at her and her two-year-old son she was holding. 

The victim says Couch pulled the trigger, and she heard the gun click. 

That's when she ran out of the home with her 2-year-old son and called police. 

When the police arrived, Couch barricaded himself inside the house.

The victim's 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son were able to safely exit the house.

Couch eventually walked out of the house and surrendered. 

No injuries were reported.
