Police officers, a SWAT team and canine units covered the area near the intersection of Judicial Road and West Burnsville Parkway. They closed roads leading into the neighborhood and Witte said they evacuated some nearby homes. Witte said he expected streets leading into the neighborhood to be open late Wednesday afternoon.
