Officers then followed a trail of blood that led to someone's backyard on Shoshone Avenue near Weddington Street.
People living in that area were immediately evacuated and others celebrating a wedding nearby were also sheltered inside of a church.
That suspect was finally caught around 2:30 Sunday morning.
He was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be OK.
