Shortly after coming out, this person went back into the house with a rifle. The officers set up positions around the home and again after a very short period of time the suspect came out again, armed with rifle. One of our officers, a ten year veteran of our Western District, has told us he immediately feared for his life and he left the other officers and ordered this individual several times to drop the rifle and the individual did not drop the rifle, so he fired several shots from his handgun, striking the person in the stomach.
