An early morning disturbance in a Marion County home, where a gunshot was reported, concluded with a 58-year-old woman's peaceful surrender, according to local authorities.

After receiving a call about a shot fired inside a residence on the 4800 block of Buffalo Drive SE at 6 a.m., Saturday, Marion County Sheriff's Office and the SWAT team quickly made their way to the scene. Despite the woman involved in the incident reportedly refusing to leave the home, with negotiations by deputies, she finally agreed to end the standoff without further incident, KPTV reports.

The situation was diffused without any injuries, and as the situation unfolds, deputies are working diligently to process the scene. The Marion County Sheriff's Office, committed to transparency, assures that additional details will be shared with the public once they become available. The integrity of the active investigation remains a priority, as noted in a press release from officials, KATU revealed.

"There were no injuries during this incident and investigators are continuing to process the scene. Due to this being an active investigation, no additional information is available at this time," officials reiterated in a statement. The nuances of the event and the reasons behind the initial gunshot and the woman's refusal to exit the home remain ensconced in the mystery of the ongoing inquiry.
