At approximately 10:30 am this morning, the Danbury Police Department received a call from a local resident requesting assistance in locating a despondent relative. While responding to the request, officers learned that the relative had suicidal ideation and was last seen driving away from his home.
As officers searched the area, they located the person in question at a residence on Moran Ave. in Danbury. Believing the person was armed with a handgun, the general area of Moran Ave. was closed off. Per department protocol, businesses and schools in the area were notified and secured until the person was contacted and provided with services.
The incident ended peacefully at approximately 12:30 pm after the person surrendered to police officers on Moran Ave.
All businesses and schools were later notified and have since resumed normal operation.
