It was 4:00 PM on a Wednesday at the New Horizons apartment complex in Whitehaven, a section of Memphis, Tennessee. For reasons unknown, someone in the complex shot at two men who were outside the apartment.

The shooter hit one of his targets, apparently a security guard whom he knew, and put him in critical condition.

The other wasn’t injured. He returned fire and apparently struck the shooter, who then barricaded himself in the apartment.

Swarms of police surrounded the apartments, including the crisis negotiations team and the mobile command center.
