PERINTON, N.Y. — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has filed an Extreme Risk Protection Order to take a Perinton man’s gun away after they say he fired shots outside his window during a mental health crisis.

That led to deputies ducking for cover on Thursday morning and a standoff that shut down the neighborhood. As News10NBC has covered, an ERPO lets police confiscate a gun and bans a person from buying a gun if they pose a risk to themselves or others. One person told us that an ERPO helped to save her sister’s life.

No one was injured during Thursday’s standoff and the man, 83, was detained. His wife told deputies that he has dementia and had been hallucinating.

News10NBC’s photjournalist saw a SWAT team with guns drawn around a house on Shagbark Way. Deputies say they responded to that house just before 4 a.m. and got the man’s wife out safely while trying to make contact with him.

Deputies say three shots came from the second-story window. They didn’t return fire. According to deputies, the situation ended when a SWAT team approached and the man exited his house. He was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Jill Cicero, who lives nearby, says she woke up to a call from authorities at 5 a.m. She says they told her something was going on in the neighborhood and that they should stay inside.

At around 5:45 a.m., Cicero says they got another call saying nothing was resolved and to stay away from windows. She says 20 minutes later they got another call saying everything was resolved and back to normal.

Another man who has lived in the neighborhood for 40 years says he has never seen anything like this, but is not too worried about safety in the area.

Since the investigation is ongoing, there is no decision on possible charges. In addition to deputies and a SWAT team, a hostage negotiation team, a K9 unit, and a drone team responded.
