ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) -
Police say an armed assailant busted into a home around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, forcing residents to run for their lives.
One neighbor said he was awakened by his dog making a ruckus, only to look out his back window to find officers swarming his neighborhood.
"Around midnight police were actually going into each yard, searching," said Justin Tyler who lives on the same block. "The canine dog and three other officers they searched my backyard."
Neighbors described low flying choppers, lots of sirens and police combing the area.
