At roughly 6 p.m. Tuesday, deputies and officers from the Natrona County Sheriff's Office and Casper Police Department set up a perimeter around an apartment building in the 2500 block of South Jefferson Street.

The response included an armored vehicle and the Natrona County Special Response Team. The SRT is similar to a SWAT team and consists of specially trained officers and deputies from area law enforcement agencies.

Responders used a bullhorn to communicate with someone they apparently believed to be in the apartment. They were heard saying, "You need to come out with your hands up. No one needs to get hurt."

They left the scene at roughly 9 p.m.
