Authorities approached the residence to make an arrest when at some point, the suspect exited the residence and fired five to six shots at the officers, who were at the rear of the property.
The suspect then barricaded himself in an attached garage for hours.
No one was injured. Several other people were in the residence at the time, and they ran outside. It was unclear what their relationship was to the suspect.
Neighbors were evacuated, and some streets were closed.
