BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Police have taken a man into custody after he barricaded himself inside a Battle Creek home Thursday afternoon.
The city of Battle Creek says a man had a mental health crisis and holed up inside a home in the 100 block of Lathrop Avenue.
We’re told police arrived before 3 p.m., after which they heard a gunshot stemming from inside the home.
Afterward, the city says the man left the building, slammed the door and went back inside.
A perimeter was established while police tried to communicate with the man, officials tell FOX 17.
The city tells us the man fired more rounds inside the home, at one point shooting out a window at responding officers. He surrendered at 8 p.m. after the Emergency Response Team deployed gas inside the building.
Police say it is likely the man was the home’s sole occupant.
No one was hurt during the day's events, and no property other than the home was damaged.
