When police arrived they found a woman outside with a gunshot wound. They went into the building and confronted the gunman, who was in a wheelchair.

Once they entered they encountered a man with a gun. An officer involved shooting ensued and the man, the gunman who was in a wheelchair, was struck by gunfire."
The shooter was taken into custody and police seized the gun he was using.
Both the victim and the gunman were transported to the hospital for treatment, but their conditions are not known.
No police were injured in the shooting.
