HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A SWAT standoff at a home in southeast Houston on Thursday morning has come to an end, according to FBI officials.

There was a large police presence at a home in the 5800 block of Southford Street near Crestridge Street.

People who claim to be neighbors in the area called ABC13 and said officers from several law enforcement agencies had been outside the home for a couple hours.

In an update around 9:30 a.m., FBI officials said the person they were looking for was not in the home when they made entry. Officers have since retreated.

An ABC13 photographer at the scene said SWAT officers used heavy machinery to get inside, causing damage to the home.

At one point, the crew at the scene believed they heard gunshots.

FBI officials did not provide any information about the suspect they are looking for or what led them to the home in the first place.
