Shortly after 2:45 a.m., officers responded to a reported domestic violence disturbance, according to Escondido police. Officers learned at the scene that a man involved in the disturbance left the home with "a high-powered rifle," the department reported.
One of the officers used his Taser at the suspect to get him to drop the gun. The suspect responded by firing at the officers on the stairs, police say. One officer fell and injured his arm.

The 27-year-old officer was responding to a domestic dispute in Crown Heights just after 9 p.m. when the gunman opened fire, police sources said.
A woman who was the reported victim of the domestic violence had sought refuge on the roof of the house and was subsequently rescued by police.
One of the officers was left bleeding heavily from a wound to his right upper thigh, while the other was shot in both hands — both suffering “very serious injuries,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a press conference.
Commissioner Michael Harrison said the shooter was driving in the opposite direction of the officers' car and it was the officer in the driver's seat that returned fire and was wounded. Three other officers were in the car.
