Officers and fire officials were called to the home in response to a possible arson near 24th Street and Osborn Road around 5 a.m.
Police got to the scene and were met by a man with a knife and gun at a neighboring home. During the confrontation, the suspect was shot and injured by police. The suspect, an adult male, was taken to a trauma center for treatment.
No officers were injured during the incident.
