PHOENIX — Phoenix police say a 24-year-old man is in custody after he fired multiple gunshots at officers early Tuesday.

Officials originally responded to a fight call between a man and a woman.
According to police, Damoin Walters was ordered to take his hand out of his pocket various times, but Walters refused.
Officials say Walters struggled with police, and that is when his gun went off while it was still in his pocket.
The struggle continued as one officer was trying to take Walters into custody. According to police, Walters fired more shots during the fight.

Walters was booked into the Maricopa County Jail.
