Samuel Power, investigators say, was acting erratically and woke up two other adults in the home. He shot a woman after briefly talking with the residents, police say. The victim is expected to be okay.

She left the house and called 911, while the other adult, a man, convinced Power to put the gun down and stay until police arrived.

Power now faces assault charges.
