Police said King came out of a garage at the home and pointed a handgun at officers, so they fired their guns but didn't hit him.

King fled on foot before being arrested without incident, police said.

Two officers who fire their weapons are on administrative leave.

He was issued a $500,000 cash bond. If he posts bond, he will be placed on an electronic monitoring system and can't contact his ex-girlfriend.
