VALLE, AZ — The Coconino County Sheriff's Office says a man is in custody after shooting at deputies and fleeing Thursday morning.

The sheriff's office says just after 6:45 a.m., deputies responded to the Valle area for the report of domestic violence involving a weapon.

Valle is about 50 miles northwest of Flagstaff.

When deputies arrived, they found a victim had been assaulted throughout the evening. They were told the suspect, 51-year-old Aaron Rose, had fled and was possibly armed.

As police searched a home nearby, deputies were allegedly shot at by an unknown person from a ridge line nearby.

Deputies then pulled back and set up a perimeter.

Late Thursday night CCSO received a call from a resident in the Valle area who said they had Rose at gunpoint on their property. Deputies responded and took him into custody without incident.

Rose faces charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and burglary.
