Homes in the affluent town of Rumson, New Jersey were evacuated Friday morning by S.W.A.T. team members.

It's not clear why the heavily armed law enforcement group was called to the area of Ridge Road and Navesink Avenue.

There are reports the SWAT team was responding to calls about gunfire.

According to NJ.com, a man was taken into custody who may have been the same man arrested in February for possession of an illegal assault rifle.

The Monmouth County town is east of Red Bank and approximately 20 miles from New York City.
