Dayton police initially were dispatched at 11:25 a.m. on a shots-fired call with the suspect inside a house in the 100 block of West Norman Avenue, just off North Main.
After an argument, a man fired shots at a woman while she was driving away in her vehicle, which was struck by gunfire, said Maj. Chris Malson of the Dayton Police Department.
Three people were inside the house on West Norman Street. The first to come out was a man who was secured initially but was not taken into custody.
“A short time later the suspect from the shots-fired call did come out of the house on his own and was taken into custody,” Malson said. “We developed information there was another female inside the residence who had warrants out for her arrest. She had refused to come out for about three hours.”
Police needed to get the woman out of the house so they could search it for the weapon used in the first case, Malson said. The woman had warrants for weapons violations.
During the standoff, the front side of the nearby E.J. Brown School was placed on lockdown and students were safely dismissed from the other side of the building.
The man and woman, whose names have not been released, were taken to the Montgomery County Jail.
