Overview
- Officers stopped a 36-year-old man who was reported to be in crisis and say he fired multiple shots at them during the encounter.
- The man drove a few blocks before stopping and then entered a standoff that led authorities to call two SWAT teams and order nearby residents to shelter in place.
- After more than two hours of negotiations, the suspect reportedly shot himself in the abdomen and officers took him into custody before transporting him to a hospital.
- Police reported no injuries to officers or members of the public and have not released the suspect’s current medical condition as the investigation continues.
- Local doorbell camera footage captured the suspect fleeing the initial scene and the case underscores questions about how police and crisis teams handle welfare checks and people in emotional distress.
