Police say the teen told officers that Reed pointed the gun at her and said something like, “Are you ready to have some fun?”

According to SPPD, officers moved the woman and her teenage children to a safer area north of the home and began setting up a perimeter around the home to prepare to arrest Reed.

Investigators say Reed, armed with a gun, left the home and ran toward the officers and the victims.
