Atlanta police surrounded a home in southwest Atlanta for several hours early today, but when SWAT officers went into the house, the person whey were looking for was not there.

The incident began around 1:30 a.m. with reports of a man pulling a gun on a woman at a home in the 2400 block of Baxter Road.

Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said the SWAT team was called in because of a “possible barricaded gunman.”

But just after 7 a.m., Jones said SWAT officer had left the scene, and, “the perpetrator was not located.”
