Multiple agencies are on scene on Vernell Way in northeast Round Rock where a man has reportedly barricaded himself inside a home and rigged explosives around it.

ROUND ROCK, Texas - The Round Rock Police Department responded Monday to reports of a barricaded subject at a home in Northeast Round Rock.

Police say the barricaded subject is an adult male and that his family had called police concerned about his safety.

The man was found unresponsive, but with no signs of physical trauma. He has been transported to the hospital.

RRPD says that there was also a report of rigged explosives at the home and a few dozen homes in the surrounding area were evacuated as a precaution. RRPD later said that all devices were determined to not be a threat.
