According to the post, police received calls from multiple people stating that they had heard shots fired around 10:45 p.m. on Monday. Officers responded to the area and worked to set up a perimeter. In the meantime, the department's drone was launched to help with surveillance.

In video footage from the drone posted on Facebook, you can see the suspect emerge from between two houses in a neighborhood and then run across the street into a parking lot where two buses were parked. A few seconds later, you can see the suspect run toward the buses and climb underneath one. It seems that they heard the police coming and decided to hide.

Just after the suspect climbed under the bus, a police vehicle can be seen pulling into the parking lot. Shortly after, two additional cruisers arrived on scene. Officers then pulled the suspect out from under the bus and took them into custody.

They also recovered a gun at the scene. (The gun, according to my searching, appears to be some sort of AK pistol.)

Police have not released any further details about the incident at this time.
