After they bandaged the victim, officers tracked the suspect down to a house on Fairview Avenue. When police arrived at that residence, Graham surrendered.

After getting a search warrant, officers found multiple magazines of 5.56 ammunition, along with an AR-15 style rifle.

Graham has no prior criminal record.
