“Upon the arrival of YSPD, it was determined that the severity of the situation along with the heightened risk to public safety, warranted the immediate need for additional personnel. For this reason, YSPD indicated a signal ‘99′, notifying surrounding agencies that an officer in Yellow Springs requested backup from all available units,” the post said.

After additional police arrived, the immediate and surrounding areas were deemed secure and an investigation was initiated.
