Police respond to serious incident near England World Cup venue
Summary

A Swat team and armed officers were deployed on June 15 in Arlington, Texas, in response to a serious incident near AT&T Stadium. The situation involved a domestic dispute with a weapon reportedly brandished by a suspect, who is now in custody. No injuries have been reported, and authorities confirmed the incident is not connected to the upcoming World Cup match between England and Croatia on June 17.
