The Frisco Police Department is currently investigating an officer-involved shooting involving an armed individual, which took place late Wednesday night. Officers responded to a call regarding a welfare concern about a family member who was believed to be armed and potentially suicidal, as per the City of Frisco.
Located in a field near Preston Road and PGA Parkway, 45-year-old Aaron Bylund, who is facing charges of Possession of Child Pornography, was surrounded by police who confirmed he was armed using drone technology. Attempting to protect others, Preston Road was closed as officers engaged with Bylund, who was highly intoxicated and made threats against officers, finally leading to an officer shooting at him after he aimed a laser sight from his gun.
In the incident's aftermath, Bylund was taken into custody yesterday after hours of negotiation and charged with Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant. This charge carries a significant penalty that includes a potential prison term of five to 99 years and fines up to $10,000. The Frisco Fire medics transported him to a local hospital before he was taken to the Frisco Holding Facility.
While the officer involved was not injured during the standoff that lasted several hours, the Frisco Police Department's investigation into the shooting is still ongoing. Further details on the case are yet to be released. In the meantime, Bylund is awaiting the next steps in legal proceedings related to both the recent charges and his previous case.
