After a few minutes, Courts and his partner, Amanda Hudgens, had arrived at the location. They approached the place with their tactics, but shooters ambushed them. The shooters fired at the officers injuring Courts while backup officers were trying to provide cover.

Courts fought until the end. However, he was already critically injured. He collapsed onto the ground and received help from Hudgens.

The gunman walked out of the apartment, and police continued to cover the Courts. Hudgens was finally able to strike the target, killing the gunman. The officers fought bravely to handle the chaotic situation.
