According to the Chisago County Sheriff's Office, at 10:23 p.m. officers received a call that a drunk man, later identified as Villella, had shot five rounds off at a residence.
The caller reported that there were multiple people inside the house, and they did not feel like they could leave the house safely.
Officers said they heard three rounds go off during the call.
Upon arrival, police heard more rounds being fired, so the Chisago County SWAT Team was called as well.
