Authorities said a suspect physically assaulted his ex-girlfriend.
The department said the man in question left the apartment before officers arrived, but the girl’s father had also been contacted and responded to the scene. According to police, the suspect returned to the apartment, and the girl’s father, who was armed with a handgun, shot him in the chest.
