That ended with an exchange of gunfire between the men in the vehicle and the suspect. The men in the vehicle drove away and were stopped at a nearby grocery store. Deputies say Hoffman barricaded himself in the residence, and the SRSO SWAT team responded -- but Hoffman attempted to run out the back door as they were preparing to enter the house.
