At least one shot was fired by a man who lives at the house towards another man who also lives there, Fairborn police Sgt. Mark Stannard told News Center 7. Other people who live at the home were also there however no one was hit by the gunfire, Stannard said.
The investigation turned into a standoff after the suspected shooter refused to come outside. The standoff prompted a response from the Regional Emergency Response Team, which is comprised of tactical officers from Fairborn, Beavercreek, and Huber Heights.
