Police in Council Bluffs responded late Saturday morning to a report of an armed subject inside a residence at 3400 3rd Avenue. While they were en route just before 10-a.m., officers were told a caller reported they thought a shot had been fired inside the home.

As officers were establishing a perimeter of the area the residents were exiting the house and quickly taken to safety. The occupants advised officers the armed subject was still inside the residence. Officers then made entry and cleared the house. No one was located inside the residence and no evidence of an intruder or shots fired were discovered.

None of the neighbors were able to confirm that any shots were fired or any suspicious subjects were observed around the residence. There are no injuries associated with the call for service, and the residence was turned back over to the homeowners. The neighborhood returned to normal activities.
