Police say Jimenez was in an “apparent altered state of consciousness” when he attacked a resident sitting outside an apartment. He then lunged at another resident who tried to intervene.

Police say the resident with a valid concealment permit fired once at Jimenez after backing away and repeatedly telling him to stop.

Investigators said both residents remained at the scene.
