The Taylor County Sheriff's Department shut down portions of Highway 36 (Potosi Road) near the cemetery early in the afternoon.
A 35-year-old man was barricaded in his home and fired several shots from a handgun, investigators said. He eventually surrendered to Abilene SWAT officers and was taken in for psychiatric evaluation.
No charges will be filed at this time.
