SWAT was called in to make sure everyone was safe inside the building's six apartments.

Police later got information there was a locked apartment that should not have been locked. When police entered that apartment they found the suspect in the shooting, Cruz said. 

The suspect was taken into custody and had a warrant previous to this incident.
