The deputies, seven-year veterans, fired their weapons after the suspect emerged from a home with a gun and while holding his girlfriend hostage, Rowe said. The situation unfolded after 10:10 am when a 911 caller said that she, her boyfriend and their 3-year-old child were in a home and overheard a dispute between the caller’s father and his girlfriend, Rowe said. She added that the caller, who was the man’s daughter, saw her father brandishing a weapon before everyone fled the house except the father and his girlfriend. The daughter said he threatened her, her boyfriend and his granddaughter. | VIDEO BELOW | Sheriff’s office spokesperson gives update on the shootingA SWAT team and hostage negotiation arrived on the scene and made contact with the suspect. “He was making statements that he was going to shoot.
