When they arrived, deputies found people who identified themselves as children of the homeowner. According to the office, when the family members arrived, a man fired multiple gunshots out of the back door of the home.

Deputies commanded everyone inside the home to leave, and the homeowner exited telling deputies a man inside the home was armed with multiple firearms and possibly wanted on a warrant.
