It made for a nerve-wracking day for residents in that northeast Raleigh community. All of them were finally let back into their homes as night fell.

Nearby apartments were evacuated as a precaution. Officers surrounded the apartment complex and worked for nearly seven hours to get the man to come out.

Around 5:30 p.m. deputies went inside the apartment to enforce the eviction order and remove the man. During the attempt to remove him, Deputy Michael Reitmann discharged his gun wounding Lundwall.

Lundwall was taken to WakeMed with serious injuries.

Investigators have not revealed why the deputy fired his gun. Reitmann is on administrative leave, which is standard policy in such cases.

The investigation is being led by the State Bureau of Investigation.
