TEMPE, AZ — Phoenix police a man is in the hospital after a domestic dispute and a crash near Price Drive and Warner Road Tuesday afternoon.
Officers were called out to a fight call near 48th Street and Warner Road, where a man and woman were involved in a domestic violence incident.
During the argument, a family member attempted to separate the man from the victim, which "led to the male suspect receiving injuries not believed to be related to a shooting."
Phoenix police say the suspect drove away and was involved in a crash near Priest and Warner Road.
Tempe police originally told ABC15 that the man was shot in the head at an unknown location and tried to drive himself to a hospital before the crash. Police have since clarified that there were no gunshot injuries in this incident.
The man was taken to a hospital as a precaution, according to police. He will be booked into jail after he is released.
The area was shut down for a couple of hours as police investigated but it has since reopened.
