LAYTON, Utah — A shelter-in-place order has been lifted for a Layton neighborhood, although no suspect is in custody after police received multiple calls of shots being fired in the area.
Layton officials received multiple calls from residents hearing "several volleys of gunfire." Police responded and heard additional fire and a male voice making verbal threats.

However, after a prolonged search, no suspect was found and the order was lifted and all roads were reopened.
Watch below as police give details on what led to Layton Shelter-in-Place order:
The area was contained, and tactical teams searched the area. Just after 3 p.m., SWAT teams were seen going into the woods with a drone flying overhead.
Residents in the area of Oak Lane north of Kayscreek and south of Oak Forest Drive were told to remain in their homes. In addition, East Layton Elementary School was placed under secure protocols, meaning no one was allowed in or out of the building, although the school day proceeded as normal inside.
A neighborhood resident told FOX 13 News that he originally heard shots fired at 11 a.m., and then again at 11:45 a.m. He shared that police came to his door during a search for a suspect, and that he saw SWAT team members hiding behind a van in the cul-de-sac where he lives.
Layton police said its officers searched yard to yard, and residents were asked to bring all animals inside.
Anyone who sees anything suspicious should call the police department.
