PHOENIX, AZ — A man is dead after being shot by Phoenix police officers at a shopping plaza Sunday night.
Officers were called to the area of 35th and Glendale avenues just after 8 p.m. regarding a man trespassing inside a business.
When police arrived and attempted to make contact with the man, he ran into a back room.
At some point, a fight began between the man and the officers. Police say officers used a Taser on the man, though the man got a hold of the Taser and that is when the officer-involved shooting occurred.
The man, who has not been identified at this time, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two officers were taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
This is the second officer-involved shooting in the Valley Sunday. Chandler police were involved in a shooting in the morning, though no injuries were reported.
This is a developing situation. Stick with ABC15 and abc15.com for the latest information.
