According to CCPD Blotter, at 9:33 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17, officers responded to a shooting with injuries call at the 1500 block of 7th Street.
When they arrived, they located a 44-year-old man with a gunshot wound in his leg and were able to provide medical help until medics got there. The man was later taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
CCPD officers investigated and found that the man's roommate, 39-year-old Jamie Sandidge, had shot him and barricaded herself inside the apartment after the officers arrived.
Officers with Patrol, the Hostage Negotiations Team, the Gang Unit and Drone Operations spent over two hours trying to communicate with Sandidge but she refused to come out. SWAT was then called in to assist and to keep talking to her.
Sandidge eventually exited her apartment and was placed into custody around 12:27 am on Sunday, Aug. 18. She was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was taken to be booked into the City Detention Center.
