The intense standoff between police and the barricaded gunman that started Thursday continued until Saturday morning.  

A SWAT team and bomb squad units spent nearly a day and a half surrounding the home, waiting for the man to surrender.

The situation started as a dispute between the man and his neighbors. The man became upset because his neighbors were lighting fireworks for the Fourth of July. Police said the man allegedly went outside and got into an argument with his neighbors because he didn't like the noise. 

He reportedly went back into his home after the argument and got a rifle. Then, he went back outside and shot two people. Both of the victims are in stable condition and expected to recover.
