Officers initially showed up at the residence just before 1:00 p.m. as part of an “active investigation.”

The standoff brought significant police resources to the scene, including tactical officers (emergency response teams), K9 units, and mobile command units.

The suspect was seen screaming at the tactical officer from inside the residence. At one point, he broke the glass in one of the windows in the house.

Few details of the investigation were available as of Friday morning, but Windsor Police asserted there was “no threat to public safety.”

Police also said the situation was unrelated to the deadly shooting in Windsor earlier this week.

Members of the public were asked to avoid the area during the standoff.
