A neighbor, who asked not to be identified for fear of safety, said the homeowner left her house after hearing a noise and potential intruders inside. At least two suspects were inside the home when police arrived, the neighbor said, and several shots were fired as officers investigated the incident.
Kirkpatrick said an officer fired multiple shots at the suspect, hitting the suspect at least once. The suspect was transported to a hospital in unknown condition, Kirkpatrick said. Four spent bullets were recovered from inside the house, according to Kirkpatrick.
