The incident started at about 3:00 a.m. in the 7300 block of West 48th Avenue when police received reports of shots fired in the area.
Police said there was a large party at the duplex, including numerous juveniles attending. Some people at the home left as police arrived, but the “primary resident” and others “refused to vacate the premises when ordered by police.”
After the remaining people inside refused to come out West Metro SWAT was called to the scene at 4:30 a.m., police said.
