I believe CNN said the homeowner went out after the "shelter in place" was lifted and found blood in the backyard. When LE arrived there was a volley of shots. I don't know if it was lead bullets or rubber ones. I hope they get him alive but he may be bleeding to death in there. (Please don't anyone interpret that as sympathy.)
