When they got to the scene, they were told the person was in a detached garage with a gun.
Officers set a perimeter around the garage and tried to make contact with the person through PA announcements, but were unsuccessful.
A drone from the Huber Heights Police Department was able to spot the person in the garage. It confirmed that they did have weapons at hand.
Jackson added that there was evidence that a vehicle in the garage was running, which led to concerns about CO2 poisoning.
At that point, SWAT was contacted, and a search warrant was obtained.
The SWAT team was then able to get into the garage. At that point, the person complied with officers’ orders.
Officers and EMTs treated the person at the scene before they were taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.
