CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — What started as a domestic dispute overnight ended in a stand-off with the Corpus Christi Police Department and the SWAT team.
Officers with CCPD were called to John Lee St. off of S. Staples just after 11 p.m. Wednesday night in reference to shots being fired, officers said.
When officers arrived, a 24-year-old woman told police there was an argument between her and 27-year-old Christian Rodriguez, which led them outside. The fight became violent when Rodriguez began to shoot at her, police said. The man then went back inside the house and negotiations with the SWAT Hostage and Negotiation Team began.
When the man did not respond, officers took action.
"So a SWAT team member made their way inside the house, once inside they located the 7 month old female baby, removed the baby from the environment and then they located the male suspect in back bedroom passed out," Travis Pace, Public Information Officer with CCPD, said.
The man was taken into custody and the baby girl was reunited with her mother. No injuries were reported.
Rodriguez faces charges of deadly conduct for shooting the gun and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
