A Dayton, OH, police detective is in critical condition after he was shot twice Monday night while serving a warrant with a Drug Enforcement Agency task force.

The shooting occurred about 7 p.m. at a Dayton residence, the Dayton Daily News reports.

Four suspects in the house were taken into custody, and a large amount of fentanyl and cash was recovered at the address, Biehl said. Multiple weapons were also found at the home, according to a Dayton police statement.
The main shooter in the investigation is Nathan Scott Goddard Jr., said David DeVillers, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio. Goddard, 39, is one of the three suspects in custody. Charges against the suspects have not been released, the Dayton Daily News reports.
Del Rio was going down stairs inside a home in the 1400 block of Ruskin Road when a suspect fired at the detective, the Dayton Daily News reports.
