Update at 7:16 AM on 6/8/22:

Initial indications are that 30-year-old Christopher E. Homan, who was consuming alcohol, got into an argument with an adult female family member when he discharged a weapon inside the home placing the family member in fear of being harmed.  The victim was able to leave the home and call for help.  There was concern for a small child who was still inside the residence.

Police arrived on scene and established a perimeter around the home.  Officers with the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) also responded; they had video phone calls with Homan during which time they made observations that led them to believe Homan may have left the area prior to police arrival.  Officers entered the home and confirmed that Homan was not there.  The child was still inside and was safe.

Officers have obtained a felony arrest warrant for Homan for the charges of Assault III, Misconduct Involving a Weapon II, and two counts of Misconduct Involving a Weapon IV.  Homan may be armed. Efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful.
