TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
Shots were fired after deputies responded to a home in the 6200 block of N. Van Ark Road for reports of a domestic violence dispute between a mother and son.
It started after a mother called 911 around 9 a.m. to report that her son had punched a hole in the wall and poured flammable liquid into her car and threatened to light it on fire.
The mother also said that he was armed with a machete, handgun, and bullet proof vest. The son also said "there would be a show down" once officers arrived on scene.
According to deputies, the mother was able to escape the house through a bedroom window.
As 5-year-veteran Deputy Chance Kennedy arrived on the scene, he saw 21-year-old Cody Salzman standing behind a pickup truck parked in the driveway.
Kennedy said he was using the car as cover and pointing what appeared to be a rifle at him.
Kennedy fired two shots causing him to surrender. Salzman was not hit or injured.
Detectives responded and found a wooden rifle stock without a barrel. They determined this is what Salzman pointed at Kennedy.
Salzman was arrested for aggravated assault on a peace officer and booking into Pima County Adult Detention Center.
