Wednesday at 6:40 PM, members of the YCSO SWAT team were called out for gunfire in Verde Village. YCSO deputies, assisted by the Cottonwood Police Department and DPS, set a perimeter around the 700 block of Desert Jewel Drive due to a barricaded suspect inside a home. YCSO Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says earlier in the evening, detectives were attempting to serve a search warrant on the suspect. The suspect fired shots from the home – though no one was injured. The YCSO SWAT team was deployed and neighboring homes were evacuated. Later, D’Evelyn says the suspect was found deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. More details are expected to be released later today. No deputies or residents injured during the incident
