Timothy Sullivan has been arrested and charged with 19 counts, according to an interim complaint KGUN 9 has received.

Sullivan allegedly threatened to kill his wife after slapping her, which prompted a 911 call after the wife and the couple's 9-year-old daughter left the house.

Sullivan called his older sons to tell their mom goodbye. Sullivan then fired at least a shot as the wife and daughter left the house.

When the police arrived they heard shots coming from inside the residence.

Sullivan then came out of the house with a gun in each hand, firing at least two rounds in the officer's direction.

Sullivan then instructed the officer to shoot him. After some time Sullivan put down the weapons.

Officers then detained Sullivan who denied shooting at officers and said he "figuratively" said he would kill his wife.
