A person was shot and wounded during an "armed barricaded subject" incident in suburban Bartlett Tuesday, authorities said, prompting a nearby school to be placed on "secure building status."
Bartlett police tweeted that the situation was resolved about 3:41 p.m.
"The neighborhood is safe," the department tweeted. "Bartlett PD continues to investigate."
Police said the incident took place about 11:20 a.m. in the 700 block of Gardenia Lane at a single-family residence. Bartlett police said in a news release that a female resident suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound in the residence and then reported it to her neighbor.
Sycamore Trails Elementary School was placed on a secure building status as a precaution, Bartlett police said in the news release.
Bartlett police requested the assistance of the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System due to a strong odor of natural gas emitting from the residence and the armed barricaded suspect's refusal to talk with police.
The barricade situtation was ongoing by 2:30 p.m., authorities said, though there was no longer a concern of a natural gas leak.
