Officers responded about 1:15 p.m.  Sept. 24 to 401 S. Ironwood after receiving a report on a shooting. Police found the victim had been fatally shot.

Neighbors were evacuated as police set up a perimeter to contain the 73-year-old suspect within his home.

“After several attempts to peacefully persuade the suspect to exit the premises, he discharged two rounds” before complying with police instructions, according to a release.

He was taken into custody.
