A SWAT standoff lasted fewer than two hours Thursday morning in Kettering after police received a report of person with a gun threatening to harm themselves.
Kettering police responded around 5:30 a.m. to Glengarry Drive, where they found a man in the backyard near a shed, according to Kettering police.
SWAT also responded.
After about an hour of negotiations, the man attempted to reach for a gun on the ground in front of him, according to police. SWAT officers fired two rounds of less-lethal weapons. One was a 12-gauge beanbag round and the other was a foam 40mm round, police said.
The man was not struck or injured. He was taken into custody and taken to a local hospital for his mental health.
The standoff was over by 7 a.m.
