Along with the wounded suspect, two others in the house were taken custody.
Video from AIR7 HD showed law enforcement officers in front of the house, along with patrol vehicles and an armored SWAT vehicle.
"A lot of noise with the helicopters ... we didn't know what was going on," said Pam Foster, who lives in the neighborhood. "My husband took the dogs out to the front, and he saw sirens right here at the end. I walked out when the gardener came, and saw all this stuff here. We didn't know what was going on."
A weapon was recovered in the home, police said.
The incident remains under the investigation.
