UPDATE: Officials believe that a large police presence at a Home Depot in Chelsea, Mass. was for a false alarm
A large police presence was seen at a Home Depot in Chelsea, Massachusetts, Thursday for what officials said appeared to have been a false alarm.
Police were investigating what happened, but Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes told NBC10 Boston that no one was hurt, no shooter had been found and there was no evidence of shots fired. It wasn't immediately clear what the report was that drew the officers to the scene, though Kyes characterized the call they received as being of"good intent." Officers were seen entering the Home Depot with guns drawn.
He later tweeted that police found"NO shots fired and thankfully no one was injured," and that the"overwhelming" response followed protocol.
