All of this unfolded in the 13200-block of Maverick Trail in Homer Glen.
Before the standoff, authorities say the suspect ran to a home in Darien, where a home invasion was reported.
Police said a victim at the home was taken to a hospital, with non-life threatening injuries.
Darien police followed the suspect but stopped the pursuit in Homer Glen, a couple miles from that home.
Law enforcement eventually found him and then came a long standoff.
"Coming out and seeing the SWAT trucks and the SWAT people is pretty crazy. I mean, anybody would see that and be like, 'What's going on?'" said Homer Glen resident Donny Mutzbauer.
For hours, the suspect remained inside the home, occasionally appearing outside, according to witnesses.
"Kind of like a nonchalant kind of like vibe he's kind of giving, like coming out, opening the garage, shutting it, opening it. Open the front door, just different, like it's weird," said Homer Glen resident Steven Pressley.
During the standoff, officers repeatedly issued warnings over a bullhorn.
"Come to the front door with your hands up and nothing in your hands or force will be used against you," an officer announced.
Officers also warned that chemical munitions would be deployed.
The Will County Sheriff placed a shelter in place as a precaution.
That request has since been lifted.
