Phillips' wife and five children were inside the home at the time, and charges say they were exposed to gunfire and pepper gas. An Isanti, Minnesota man accused of repeatedly firing at law enforcement during an hours-long standoff while his wife and five children were inside the home is now facing dozens of felony charges. Law enforcement believed Phillips wife and five children, ages 4 to 17, were inside with him. Other children reportedly told investigators Phillips made one of the children hold a gun and help him reload the weapons, charges allege. The children reported feeling scared, and charges state the five children had been subjected to pepper gas and gunfire during the standoff.
