The first responder, officer Irwin arrived at the scene, where one home was completely engulfed in flames. As he stepped out of his cruiser, he spotted the suspect, later identified as 56-year-old Everton Brown, armed with a handgun.

Now on the ground, Brown continued to maintain his grasp of his firearm and began returning fire at incoming officers. As other responding officers exited their vehicles, Brown was lying on the ground between two parked cars.
