WACO, Texas — Nobody was injured after the Waco Police Department and its SWAT team responded to a welfare check in Waco Tuesday afternoon.
Police were sent to a home in the 10000 block of Iron Horse Trail just before 9 a.m. after receiving a call from a woman that her husband was experiencing a mental health crisis and that there were guns in the home, according to a release.
Officers arrived on scene and tried to get the man, who remains unidentified, to come outside but were unsuccessful, police said.
The SWAT team was called and a MHMR crisis team also reported to the scene, police said. A mental health warrant was obtained and the SWAT team and negotiators tried to get the man to come out of the home to serve the warrant.
