Numerous police departments responded to a Newburgh Heights neighborhood Friday night after authorities were called about a woman who was shot in the chest and bleeding—a call that turned out to be a prank 'swatting' call.There were conflicting stories and a couple of 911 calls, according to police. One caller said a woman was shot in a drive-by, then a separate call described a situation where a man shot his wife, and she was on the floor bleeding.
After those inside refused to comply with officers' commands to come outside, officers called for backup, and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, Brooklyn Heights and Cuyahoga Heights police departments and a SWAT team responded.The standoff started at about 10:30 p.m. and lasted into early morning Saturday.“We didn’t know if we had a standoff, we didn’t know if we had a person dying or dead in the house, we didn’t know any of this stuff.
