PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WLS) -- Some residents in the area of Plainfield Township are being asked to shelter in place Friday morning, as police handle a barricade situation, the Will County Sheriff's Office said.

The sheriff's office is on the scene of a home in the 25000-block of Dina Court in Plainfield Township for a male suspect who has barricaded himself inside the home, police said.

A female victim called 911 just after 9:40 a.m. to report that she was in the home and had run outside after an incident took place, police said.

She was taken to a local hospital, and appears to have non-life threatening injuries, police said.

Schools within the perimeter have been notified, and are taking appropriate measures, police said.

Drauden Road is closed between Renwick and Caton Farm roads.
