One of the officers drew his weapon and fired, killing the suspect, Maddrey said.Maddrey commended the officers, a 28-year veteran a 16-year veteran.“They could have easily let this person walk past them with his luggage.

Instead, they stopped, asked a couple of questions, tried to get some intel before they walked right up in there,” he said.

“Unfortunately, they were met with the perpetrator in this incident.

He went right at them.”The officers were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to recover, police said.An 11-year-old girl found in front of the house died from her injuries, police said.A fire in the living room and foyer area left police unable to enter the home initially, but fire officials were quickly able to put out the fire.
