The shooting resulted after a dispute between neighbors. A gun was recovered at the scene, according to police.
A perimeter was established as the man apparently barricaded himself inside the building. Officers locked down the location and evacuated nearby residents as police negotiators attempted to de-escalate the situation.
The victims, whose identities were not disclosed, were transported to a hospital. They were listed in stable condition and expected to survive.
