Battle Creek Police negotiators are at the scene of a home in the 100 block of Lathrop Avenue in Post Addition, as the man inside experiences a mental health crisis.
Police responded just before 3 p.m. to the home. While outside, they heard a gunshot inside the house. The man came outside, slammed the door, then returned inside the house.
Since then, police have blocked the area around the home, and are trying to make contact with the man.
No one was injured by the gunshot, and police believe the man is alone in the house.
