North Branford police are investigating after a 911 call was made about people injured at apartments on Foxon Road in town and police found no threat.
Someone called 911 at about 12:30 a.m.reporting that people inside the Marshfield Partments were injured and that others were at risk of being hurt too. About 35 police officers from seven departments responded and spent hours investigating before they determined there was no danger by 4:30 a.m.
People who live at the apartments said they weren't sure what was going on when they woke up to the sounds of police and swat teams moving in the darkness in their complex early Tuesday.
"We could hear a megaphone and a dog barking," Christa Trudeau, of North Branford, said.
North Branford resident Frank Patton said, "I just heard come on out with your hands up."
NBC Connecticut cameras were told to stay more than a block away and some residents trying to come home weren't allowed inside the complex.
"She was coming home from work and they told her that she couldn’t come around," John Avitable, of North Branford, said. "She said that she saw the cops here with their guns drawn and yelling and screaming."

If we had a real issue here, you know, it would be helpful if the cops actually showed up," Avitable said.
Residents said they are concerned that if something real happens in the complex, police might not take it seriously.
Police have not said what kind of injuries the person who called 911 said had taken place or whether they explained what the potential risk to other tenants was.
Police are trying to figure out who made the initial call.
"I’m worried about it if continues. This is not the first time. I’ve got a daughter. I’m going to move if this keeps up," Patton said.
North Branford police ask anyone with information to call the department at 203-484-2703.
