GREENWOOD, Ind — A standoff in Greenwood Wednesday trapped some people in their neighborhood for hours.
Police said no one was injured in the incident that happened in a home on Blossom Drive, near U.S. 31 and Worthsville Road.
The standoff, which ended around 8 p.m. Feb. 28, started five hours earlier when police got a call about a man said to be in distress and allegedly threatening to hurt himself.
Dozens of police officers responded, including SWAT units.
Matt Fillenwarth, Greenwood's assistant police chief, told 13News the man fired some shots inside the house but no one was hit.
After officers used tear gas, Fillenwarth said the man voluntarily came out of the house and surrendered.
"It's kind of unnerving, honestly," said a man who lives nearby. "The fact that this is taking place in Greenwood, nothing like this ever happens. This is kind of unusual. The police, paramedics, ambulances, they all showed up, blocked the entrances. We were pretty much stuck here."
Fillenwarth said the man was taken to the hospital and is not currently facing criminal charges.
Any guns found inside the home will be seized by officers, Fillenwarth said.
