Authorities had been at the home since shortly after 3 a.m., when a woman reported that Amador, her boyfriend, discharged a gun in the home they share and threatened her, officials said.
The woman was able to call police after escaping when Amador fell asleep, police said.
Authorities blocked off the area around the home, closed the school and two nearby day care centers during the standoff Tuesday morning.
When they finally broke in the home, police found Amador on a bed in the house's basement, with two semiautomatic handguns, ammunition and knives, officials said. He was taken into custody without incident.
Prosecutors said Amador will likely face kidnapping, restraint, aggravated assault, terrorist threats and weapons charges.
