Police say they were called to check on a resident, but the SWAT team was called because the person had weapons in the home.
The person was then brought to the hospital for a mental health evaluation after being taken into custody.
Residents were advised to avoid the area as police handled the situation.
A parent told Boston 25 News that a school bus with elementary school students who live on the street was waiting at The Fours parking lot.
