He was taken to a hospital in unknown condition but told officers his friend shot him. The unidentified shooter, however, barricaded himself inside a home and refused to come out, so a brief standoff ensued.

After some negotiation for several minutes, with police setting up a perimeter outside the home, they were able to get the man to surrender peacefully and was taken into custody.
