About 10 minutes later, a woman contacted officers saying her husband said he wanted to kill himself and that he had a gun at the home. When police arrived at the home, the man claimed he had no thoughts of suicide.
At 7 pm, officers were called to 7th Street for a report of a man threatening to harm himself and others. The man was reportedly being combative and had already hit someone. Portsmouth Ambulance transported him to the hospital for treatment.
