An incident that prompted officers in tactical gear to position outside a home in West Hartford for several hours on Wednesday has been resolved.

Officers arrived at a home on Crocker Avenue around 9:30 a.m. to conduct a non-criminal welfare check on a resident, according to police.

After gathering information during their investigation, and based on the nature of the complaint, police decided to have more officers respond and stage outside of the house, according to authorities.

They did not specify what led them to make that decision.

A person has since walked out of the house and surrendered to police. Police were the scene armed with long guns for several hours.

The incident remains under investigation and police said no criminal charges have been filed at this time. No injuries were reported and there is no threat to the public.

Crocker Avenue has fully reopened. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police at their tip line by calling 860-570-8969.
