K9 Officer Donovan and his partner Hodor, arrived on scene. Officer Donovan announced the dog's presence. The door was then pried open to allow officers to enter. Shortly thereafter, a black male wearing a gray striped hoodie walked up from the basement. When asked, the suspect stated he was alone. Officer Paccioretti informed other officers that this was not the suspect he had observed earlier. As Officer Donovan and his partner were about to enter the home, a second suspect exited the rear door.

Officers then entered the home to conduct a thorough search for any remaining suspects. K9 Hodor conducted a sniff of the building and alerted to an item secreted in the basement. That item appeared to be a firearm, but would turn out to be a pellet gun.
