Police said Brandon Kapas was leaving the home and refused to comply with what the officers were telling to him do.
Officials said Kapas then pulled out a gun and started shooting at officers, so they shot back.
That’s when two of those officers were shot, according to the agency.
As more police officers responded to the scene to try to capture Kapas, they said he killed another person before police shot and killed him.
