He was reported to have a handgun and shotgun and at one point, a shot was fired into a bedroom ceiling from a high-powered rifle.

About an hour later, a police officer was observed talking to the man through a window and he later exited the building, was taken into custody and transported to a medical facility for a mental health evaluation.
