Responding to a 911 call involving a domestic violence situation around 3:15 a.m., the officer entered an apartment alone and was met with a hail of bullets.

The officer, who remains unidentified, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. She immediately underwent emergency surgery and her condition is currently unknown.

Upon arriving at the scene, which was an apartment complex, officers encountered a woman who claimed to have been assaulted by her boyfriend.

The boyfriend was discovered lying in bed, ominously accompanied by a rifle. Without warning, he began shooting, and the officers were forced to defend themselves, engaging in a shootout, Chief McManus confirmed.

The officers quickly retreated from the apartment, while the armed suspect barricaded himself inside.

A standoff ensued, lasting several hours, until the SWAT team entered. However, they discovered a sad scene: the alleged shooter was found dead.

The chief added that it is still unclear if the suspect committed suicide or if his death was the result of the officers returning fire.
