Sergeant Paul Parizek said, “As the first officers arrived they were met with gunfire. At one point one of our officers did exchange gunfire with the suspect who then retreated from I believe the balcony back into the apartment.”
“We deployed a distraction device, which was probably that loud boom that you heard. We did that and then we were able to take him into custody without incident," Parizek said.
Around 8:40 a.m. Metro STAR tactical unit officers entered the apartment and took Ruggles into custody.
