Police, fire, and EMS established a perimeter, notified area residents to stay inside and began communications with the man. Over the course of the first couple hours, more than 12 shots were heard from inside the home, there were no injuries reported as a result of the shots.

It was after the man stopped communicating with police they decided to enter the home. The SWAT team used a robot to enter the home and deployed a diversionary device before the team entered.
