The police response ended shortly before 4:30 p.m.
“They have determined at this time that there is not a threat and that she does not need us or any services from us,” Huber Heights police Sgt. David Garlow said.
It is possible the call involved a misunderstanding between the woman and her family members, Garlow said.
Initially there was a report from a family member who said the woman may want to harm herself who may be armed with a gun and possibly fired a shot. There are weapons in the home, but it was not clear whether the woman had access to them, the sergeant said.
When officers arrived they contacted the woman by phone and spoke to her, but she kept hanging up on them.
Officers also used a bullhorn to ask her to come outside.
Huber Heights SWAT team members were training on Thursday, so Dayton Police Department’s SWAT team responded with an armored vehicle.
Police had the area blocked off and at one point it appeared Dayton SWAT sent a robot to the house.
No charges are expected to be filed, Garlow said.
