Round Rock SWAT Team Dealing With Barricaded Person (Updated)

ROUND ROCK, TX — Round Rock police dispatched a SWAT team to a home in response to a barricaded person, according to reports.

The tactical unit was sent to Kenney Fort Boulevard and Forest Creek Drive just before 5:30 p.m., officials said. The intersection there was subsequently closed off to traffic, and police urged people to avoid the area entirely.

The standoff ended by 8 p.m., although police did not detail just how the situation was defused. The man who had barricaded himself reportedly was not injured but transported to a hospital for medical evaluation. It's also unclear what prompted the man to hole himself up in his home or why police were intent on coaxing him out.

Few details are known. Patch will update if any more information is made available.
