Law enforcement officials descended on the area near St. Joseph’s University in Lower Merion Township early Wednesday as a police investigation was underway.<\/p>\n

A heavy police vehicle could be seen parked along the closed off roadway at the scene as officers worked in the area. <\/p>\n

However, officials did not immediately provide specifics into what incident brought police to the area early Wednesday. <\/p>\n

At about 6:15 a.m., police posted on social media about the situation, noting it was “contained” and there was no threat to the public. <\/p>\n

NBC10’s Lili Zheng<\/a> was at the intersection of Old Lancaster and Edgehill roads in Lower Merion Township, just about a block from St. Joseph’s University’s campus, at about 5:30 a.m., on Wednesday, to find police vehicles throughout the area.<\/p>\n

She was told by officials to stay back about a block from where the officers had set up police tape. <\/p>\n

Asked about the investigation, officials did not confirm any specific details immediately. But, they said a “situation” was under investigation. <\/p>\n

Officials also told NBC10 that there would likely be more information provided later on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Police have not announced any arrests, nor have they said if anyone was injured in this incident. <\/p>\n

But, NBC10 is working to learn more.<\/p>\n

This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as new information becomes available. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Law enforcement officials descended on the area near St. Joseph’s University in Lower Merion Township early Wednesday as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[183,185,184,186,200],"class_list":["post-122995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lower-merion","tag-lower-merion","tag-lower-merion-headlines","tag-lower-merion-news","tag-lower-merion-township","tag-montgomery-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
