Three police officers responded to an urgent call from a home before gunfire from inside the home wounded one of officers. A second officer was injured while taking cover, and the third officer returned fire. Police used a robot to break down the door to the home. A man thought to be the shooter and a woman emerged from the home, and an officer shot and killed the man, police said.
