No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, but police have charged a man who they say got into a fight with officers as they responded to the shooting. One officer was injured while trying to detain the man and was taken to a hospital for treatment, Smith said.

The 38-year-old man was charged with second-degree assault, second-degree obstruction of public administration, resisting arrest and second-degree harassment, Smith said.

“When you have people actively fighting with officers who are trying to provide medical care, it obviously makes things a lot more difficult,” Smith said at a news conference Sunday.
