The Killeen Police Department Tactical Response Team is responding to an incident regarding a barricaded person on the 900 block of Estelle in Killeen, according to police.

Several residents in the area left for their safety while other have remained inside their homes. The police department asks that people avoid the area as officers continue to work on the scene.
