Crews were dispatched to Fair Oaks Road for a verbal argument that turned violent, said Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Staff, Jeremy Roy.
Roy said the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the leg.
The suspect then fled the scene and ran into a nearby apartment, where officers attempted to make contact with him.
Roy said the suspect refused to come out and had closed all of the blinds. That’s when the SWAT agency was called to the scene.
One neighbor, Trayvon Green, said he heard two people arguing and then heard about two to three shots.
“It always is something going on, so it never surprises me,” said Green. “It’s so hot now, so people are really going to start acting crazy.”
Roy said that these two adults should have had some type of conflict resolution to be able to handle altercations without leading to violence.
“In this case, that didn’t happen, and instead we had someone point out a gun during an altercation and a shot being fired,” said Roy.
Roy said that the shot could have “easily went anywhere” in the neighborhood and hit anything.
The suspect was taken into custody around 2:30 a.m., according to our News Center 7 crew on the scene.
