Allen Police surrounded a house on Monroe Court in response to a suicidal call to 911 operators.
According to Sgt. Jon Felty, Allen Police public information officer, a man called emergency dispatch about 3 p.m. today, saying he wanted to kill himself.
“Basically this is a barricaded suicidal person. The person is in the house by themselves,” Felty said. “The only person they are threatening is themselves. We are in contact with him.”
Felty said police thought the man was alone and did not want to harm anyone else.
Police responded and surrounded the house and blocked off some nearby streets.
Allen ISD Public Information Director Tim Carroll said he received a call from police who advised Ford Middle School be put on precautionary lockdown with children not allowed to walk home. Buses continued to run normally and parents were allowed to pick up their children.
