At approximately 9:14 p.m. on December 22, officers were dispatched to a domestic violence in progress at a residence in the 3200 block of Tiffany Court. The call received by dispatch indicated that the suspect had been abusive in the past, has just thrown the family's cat at the victim, and that there were young children present in the home. One of the children also spoke with dispatchers, stating that their father was 'drunk' and was possibly in the process of retrieving a firearm. Officers arrived on scene four minutes after being dispatched and observed the suspect inside the residence, pulling the curtains to the window closed. Shortly after, the front door opened, and a young child exited running out of the home, but then ran back inside. The mother, holding a three-year-old child, was sitting on the ground near the door, while the suspect stood behind her. While approaching the residence, officers issued verbal commands for the suspect to drop the weapon. Instead of complying, the suspect raised the firearm and aimed it at the officers. In response, the officer closest to the offender took cover, while a second officer discharged one round from his duty weapon, striking the offender. Officers were able to remove the children and the mother safely from the residence before providing aid to the offender. Emergency medical personnel arrived shortly thereafter, and the offender was transported to a local hospital where, at the time of this release, he is currently undergoing surgery. he offender in this incident has been identified as Tyler J.
