No barricaded gunman found in NW Atlanta home

Police officers and a SWAT unit that responded to a house in northwest Atlanta where they believed a gunman was barricaded found no suspects inside.

Officers responded to the scene just after 4 p.m., police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said. Police were attempting to serve a warrant at a property in the 300 block of James P. Brawley Drive when they heard shots coming from an unknown location nearby, Brown said.

A SWAT unit was called to the scene just off Joseph E. Boone Boulevard in the Vine City neighborhood, where they surrounded the home, Brown said. The unit was able to enter the home but did not find anyone inside.

The incident resulted in no injuries, but the investigation is ongoing.
