A distraught father of a patient in a Texas hospital has surrendered to police after a standoff.
The sheriff's office for Harris County said the man had surrendered and the hospital, just north of Houston, was no longer under lockdown.
Previously, the police had said the man was holding hostages and could be armed. Later, they said it was not a hostage situation and the father was not armed.
Police described the father as "distraught about his son's medical condition."
He was with his son in the critical care unit of the Tomball Regional Medical Centre.
