PHOENIX — Phoenix police officers were involved in a shooting late Monday night near Cave Creek Road and Union Hills Drive.
Phoenix police were called around 11 p.m. to investigate reports of a domestic dispute between a man and his mother. The man had an outstanding warrant and had access to knives, police say.
When they arrived, officers learned the man, 55-year-old Abraham Hermosillo, was inside the home and armed with knives.
Hermosillo reportedly failed to comply with orders to drop the knives and moved toward the room his mother was in while still armed.
One officer fired his gun and struck Hermosillo. While officers were attempting to take Hermosillo into custody, he failed to follow additional commands to put his hands behind his back. Officers then used less-lethal means to get him into custody.
Police say Hermosillo suffered non-life-threatening injuries and has already been released from the hospital.
No officers were injured.
Hermosillo is expected to be booked into jail on multiple felony charges.
