Police think the suspect is the only one who remains in the home, and authorities think he is armed with a rifle, Peletta said.The suspect has not been identified, although police think they know the man's identity, the deputy chief said."I was up at the scene until probably 11:30 he was still actively firing, randomly, up until that time," Peletta said.
