A nearby resident, who did not want to be identified due to safety concerns, said they were preparing to take off from their Revere Street home when they were told to get inside by police.

"The officers told me, 'No, you got to go back in the house,' and I obliged their orders and went back in," the resident told The Standard just after 2 p.m. "I had somewhere I needed to go at noon, but I'm just leaving now."

According to the neighbor, the house in question is known to have a number of visitors at all times of the day.

"There is a lot of activity all night long, going in and out of there," they said.
