A suspect armed with a gun broke into a home in Dracut, Massachusetts, on Wednesday morning and then barricaded themselves inside.
Shortly after 8 a.m., Dracut police said they were called to Lillian Terrace for reports of an individual who had broken into a house and barricaded themselves inside. The person was allegedly armed with a gun.
No one was home at the time of the break in, police said.
Dracut police requested assistance from the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council, a local SWAT-style team consisting of police officers from around the region, to help negotiate with the barricaded subject.
