One person is in custody after Richmond Heights Police responded to a home on Stevenson Street Tuesday evening to conduct a welfare check on a resident.
Authorities said there was strong evidence of an individual who had "an altered mental state and was possibly armed" and that they suspected a "felonious assault" had occurred inside.
Police called in a special team and were able to peacefully resolve the situation.
Residents who live in the area were advised to shelter in place as a precaution, police said.
