At around 1:03 p.m., officers responded to the 9300 block of Fox Creek Drive after a report of a man pistol-whipping a woman. Police found the woman who had visible head injuries.

The officer opened fire, and the suspect ran to the front porch of a home in the 9400 block of Lansdowne Drive. A standoff began until the suspect swallowed a pill. According to the police, they fired a less-than-lethal weapon and deployed a K-9.
