Officers responded at 8:11 a.m. to a call of a man and woman arguing and fighting inside a second-floor apartment with loud music. The building superintendent, who went to see what the noise was about, told police that the man inside the apartment had pointed a weapon at him. When police arrived, a man reportedly pointed a gun out the door of the apartment into the hallway where officers were standing, and two officers fired shots, and the door closed. Later, the woman surrendered and the man was found with a fatal gunshot.
