Before officers arrived, Ysef had already left the scene, leaving behind many unanswered questions and anxious employees trying to process what had just happened. >> There they are. There they are. Hey, I'm hit. >> About 90 minutes later, officers located Yousef near Georgeville and Climb Roads. Dash cam footage captured him running across a small hill toward a parking lot while continuing to fire in the direction of pursuing officers. Law enforcement from multiple agencies worked together under intense pressure, returning fire only as the threat continued. The exchange lasted about 8 seconds.

What began as an ordinary hotel check-in quickly turned into a tense situation that no one on the property expected. According to investigators, 36-year-old Ronald Alberto Zendeas appeared to be intoxicated and behaved aggressively toward hotel staff. After damaging property in the lobby, he returned minutes later carrying a running chainsaw. Employees rushed to take cover as he forced his way into restricted areas and later confronted the occupant of a nearby room, leaving visible damage to the door before walking back outside. It was then that multiple 911 calls brought officers racing to the scene. >> Suspect knocking on doors near the office. >> Where'd he go? Where's he at? They're here right now. I see them. >> All right. >> When officers arrived, witnesses pointed directly to Zendahas, who was sitting inside his vehicle. Despite repeated commands to stop and show his hands, he suddenly sped away. The pursuit quickly escalated as he drove across traffic lanes, struck roadside objects, collided with a patrol vehicle, and continued driving recklessly through the area. As the danger to officers and the public continued to increase, officers responded to stop the threat. The vehicle traveled only a short distance before crashing into a nearby wall. >> Stop. Police. Let me see your hands. Don't [ __ ] drive, man. Stop the car. Stop the [ __ ] car. Spark 91. He contracted our car. Shut me. Shut me. Stop. Shot. Fire.

Show me YOUR ASS. STOP RIGHT THERE. STOP RIGHT THERE. NO. SHOW ME YOUR >> A short time later, deputies located him walking nearby and repeatedly ordered him to stop. Instead of complying, Villisanor continued moving, forcing officers to make split-second decisions as the situation rapidly intensified. What are you? >> 998 998. >> Officers responded to the immediate threat and Villisor was struck before dropping the handgun and falling to the ground. Deputies quickly secured the weapon and immediately began providing first aid while requesting paramedics. Villisor was transported to a local hospital in stable condition. Investigators later recovered a loaded semi-automatic handgun and determined that he had committed an armed robbery before the counter and had also pointed the firearm at another person nearby while fleeing. Fortunately, no bystanders were injured.

As they approached, Johnson immediately ran away on foot. [screaming] >> Don't. >> She went in her purse. >> What the ground? Get on the ground. >> Hey, get over here. >> Why'd you shoot? Why' you shoot? Okay. >> Believing there could be an immediate threat, one officer discharged a single round, but Johnson was not struck, she then went to the ground and was safely taken into custody. A search of her purse and clothing did not locate a firearm. Even so, officers carefully secured the scene, knowing that critical evidence is not always found where people first expect it. >> No, no, she's not. She's supposed >> We [screaming] got shots fired over her here. Now, >> CALL YOUR DAD. GO INSIDE. >> CALL YOUR DAD. >> Detectives later interviewed witnesses and obtained a search warrant for Johnson's residence.

So, I'm assuming it was a firearm, but I pushed it back up. >> So, you're not sure whether or not it was a firearm or not? You think that it was something? >> In the Ring camera, it looked like a firearm. >> It could have been a BB gun. I'm not exactly sure, but either way, >> after reviewing security footage, deputies believe the man may have been carrying a firearm. A short time later, they located a vehicle connected to the suspect. >> [music] >> We're going to be headed eastbound. When deputies attempted a traffic stop, the driver fled.

Deputies arrived and managed to calm the situation. Bailey agreed to leave and was taken to another township for the night. For a few hours, it appeared the conflict had finally come to an end. But around 6:00 a.m., a new series of emergency calls came in. Family members reported that Bailey had returned, forced his way back into the home, assaulted several people, and left in a family vehicle. As officers attempted to stop him, he fled.
