LYNN, MASS. (WHDH) - A standoff in the City of Lynn ended Tuesday evening after police were unable to find a suspect in the building they were monitoring.

7NEWS sources said it all started after a suspect allegedly fired shots outside of a home on Chase Street, missing his intended target before running back into the house.

No one was hurt during the shooting, before officers arrived and established a perimeter. Police officers and SWAT teams could be seen setting up barricades around a multistory home in the neighborhood during the afternoon.

Following the response from state and local police, officials determined the suspect was no longer in the area and started clearing the scene sometime before 6 p.m.

Details on the suspect have not yet been released.
