SWAT teams from Morgan and Johnson counties worked together to surround the perimeter. Attmepts to contact the boy inside the home were unsuccesful.

Tear gas was fired into the home. Later, the 15-year-old boy was found dead inside.

An autopsy will be held to determine the cause of death. 

Sheriff Myers says no officers fired their weapons during the incident.
