The man was wanted on a warrant for possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, criminal recklessness, pointing a firearm and invasion of privacy stemming from an incident earlier this month in which he shot at people, the release said.

No officers or people other than the suspect were injured, the release said.

Detectives located a handgun next to the man, the release said.

The officers who fired their guns have been placed on administrative leave.
