A Taser stun gun has been used by police in Londonderry for the first time in Northern Ireland.
It was used to subdue a father who had locked himself in a house in Galliagh with his two young children at about 0300 BST on Saturday.
Police said it was used "as an appropriate and tactical option to bring the matter to a safe conclusion".
