Once inside, there was an encounter with an armed person inside assaulting a female. Police then shot the armed person twice.

That person was taken to VCU Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to be okay.

A force investigation is now underway. Police say it could take days or weeks to complete.

No charges have been filed yet.

We expect to learn more about this developing story today.
