It happened in the 4000 block of West Indiana Avenue late Wednesday morning.
Video from Chopper 6 showed SWAT officers apparently focusing on a home that sits next to a church.
It's not yet known exactly what prompted this standoff, though it may be related to a shooting in that area.
In that incident, a 63-year-old man was shot in the back.
He is now in critical condition at Temple University Hospital.
