Police say officers responding to a reported assault at a Silver Spring home Monday night tried to negotiate with Perez after the boy's mother and her boyfriend escaped the home.
Police say he was seen lighting an object on fire, activating smoke detectors, and the boy could be heard screaming. Tactical team supervisors went inside for the child's safety, and an officer shot Perez. The boy wasn't hurt.
