A Minneapolis man is facing multiple felony charges following a domestic violence incident that ended in a shooting and house fire.
Police took Xiong into custody at the scene and recovered firearms, ammunition and drug paraphernalia during a subsequent search. A black rifle, a possible shotgun, spent shells and multiple high-capacity magazines were found alongside a glass pipe with residue and a substance believed to be methamphetamine.
The woman later underwent surgery for a fractured leg bone caused by the gunshot. She also recounted prior incidents in which Xiong fired guns inside the home—claiming to shoot at demons—and described how he once nearly pointed a firearm at their infant child before being stopped by one of the older children.
Xiong is charged with first-degree arson, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, threats of violence and misdemeanor domestic assault. He remains in custody and is scheduled to make an initial court appearance on Wednesday. Xiong faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
