Police responded to reports of a possibly armed man barricaded on the Southern Methodist University campus around noon on Monday.
The man who was wanted for an early morning carjacking in Dallas reportedly holed up in the cab of a crane being used to build residential housing on the campus.
Police said he claimed to be armed and was apparently hurling his shoes and other items at officers and threatening to jump.
In addition to campus police, air, tactical and sniper units from Dallas and Highland Park were called to help.
Several streets surrounding the university were shut down.
There were a limited number of people on campus because of the Memorial Day holiday, but officials said they warned people to avoid the area.

The crane he crawled up in is a tower crane.It's only 95 degrees here.Wonder how long he will last in that little cab?Idiot.
 
He climbed out the window and fell off the tower.

ALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Ollie May Thomas says she knew it was her son dangling from a tower crane when she saw him on the news.
She recognized the clothing –– he was wearing that outfit when he left her home on Friday night. The suspect’s body shape confirmed her suspicions.
When detectives from Dallas Police called to tell her that her son, 44-year-old Lee Dale Thomas Jr., had fallen from a 150 ft. crane, she said she was not surprised.
“I feel real empty,” she said. “Feeling I wished I could have did something more, but he wasn’t a baby and I couldn’t pick him up.”
Thomas said there is a history of mental illness in her family.
Lee Dale Thomas Jr.’s grandfather committed suicide and his father was a paranoid schizophrenic, she said.
Thomas said her son began using drugs at an early age and was imprisoned on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for killing his girlfriend’s mother.
He was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in 1991 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to Dallas County records. He was charged with the same thing in 1998 and was sentenced to four years.
He finished his sentence in October 2004.
