Monday night, officers responded to multiple reports of gunshots near Larkspur Drive and Wildflower Drive, with additional reports later near Heather Heights Court.

Around 3:52 AM, a resident in the 2800 block of Lupine Court reported that a male suspect had kicked in their front door. Thankfully, the suspect fled when confronted and no one was injured. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate him initially.

Later, a clerk at a local gas station called 911, reporting that a male had entered the store armed with a handgun. Officers advised the clerk to lock the doors and quickly responded.

When officers arrived, the suspect tried to re-enter the gas station but fled to the back of the property. After a brief foot pursuit, officers were able to safely take him into custody near the car wash.

Officers later recovered a stolen pistol nearby. The gun was reported stolen out of Las Vegas (the suspect’s hometown), is believed to be connected to the earlier incident on Lupine Court and the reports of gunfire.

We’re grateful for the quick response from our officers and the cooperation of all our residents.
