After ordering Moore to drop the gun, authorities shot him five times. He fell to the ground and authorities began medical treatment. Moore was later flown to University Hospital.

As of Saturday afternoon, Moore was in stable condition after surgery. The mother of the woman was also in stable condition, and Moore's former girlfriend was released from the hospital.
