Thursday afternoon Hopkins County Deputies responded to a disturbance on FM 900. When they arrived they found that Teddy Ray Emmons, 58, had used a weapon during the commission of a family confrontation.

The SWAT team and negotiators worked with him for an hour. However, no sustained contact was initiated.
