From what I can gather from the source I found looks like domestic disturbance, corwin probably with gun inside house alone. Everyone is fine not too sure what's happening now.



Hopefully it ends without corwin losing it and no one getting hurt. Sounds like he's probably going to jail though.

A SWAT team has responded to the Northbrook Shores subdivision in Granger after shots were reportedly fired inside at a home in the 10000 block of Glynwater Ct.



This was originally called in as a domestic dispute just before 1 p.m.



A neighbor told WSBT the home is owned by Corwin Brown, a former Notre Dame football defensive coach.



The neighbor told WSBT several children and a woman made it safely out of the home.



Our reporter at the scene says he heard additional shots fired after his arrival. There is very little information confirmed at this time. Stay with us for updates.

So yes they are. I think you can probably connect the dots at what he could have shot at. (complete speculation). Doesn't sound good though.

I admit to having the same first thought, but in the end, that's way less important right now than the potential loss of life or whatever else is going on with Corwin.  He had a strong connection to Michigan for a while, and in recent years has been dickish about us (negative recruiting, bitching about not getting the db job), but it is always sad to see someone who was associated with our program go down like this.

A cached version of his Wikipedia page, which showed up in a google search, identified today as his day of death, with a reference to the SWAT team incident.  However, his current wikipedia page mentions none of this -- probably because we really don't know anything yet.

It is always interesting to see the first edits on Wikipedia after a suddent event.  However, those first edits are often not consistent with the facts.

I wish him and his family well at this time.

Uh, no.  What I am saying is that early reports are often wrong.  That has been true throughout history.  Wikipedia is no different.  In fact, I noticed that Wikipedia editors had retracted any "news" that wasn't verified, which is admirable.

Wikipedia haters are similar to blog haters who want there voracity verified.  That said, early reports on Wikipedia (and anywhere else) have to be taken with many grains of salt.

Both entrances to the neighborhood are blocked off, with two squad cars at each entrance. They're not letting anyone into the neighborhood, even those who live there, so anyone with a car has to park it on the grass on the outside of the neighborhood. It looked like the police are taking plate numbers and asking where the people parking their cars live too, It I couldn't see inside the neighborhood for too long, but it looked like the power people were still in there somewhere. That's all I could really see with a quick drive by.

Looks like Harden's involvement was key to its resolution. Hoping that Brown's injuries are not life threatening.
