The person went back into their residence and has refused to come out, said Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Aaron Lee.

East Charleston Boulevard from North 28th to North 30th streets was closed shortly after 7 p.m. because of the activity.

There is no word on any injuries. A perimeter has been established.
