GLENDALE, AZ — A man is dead and another person has life-threatening injuries after a shooting involving Glendale police Wednesday night.

Police say officers were called to the area of 47th and Glendale avenues just after 7 p.m. after a woman reported that a man threatened her with a gun.

When police arrived, a man had already left the scene. Officers found a vehicle that matched the suspect description near a park at 47th and Diana avenues, just north of Northern Avenue.

Officials pulled over the alleged suspect and he exited the vehicle after police commands. The man appeared to have "reached for something," and police say that is when the officer-involved shooting occurred.

A second person was found at the scene with life-threatening injuries, though officers did not disclose how that person was injured or the relationship between the victim and suspect.

Peoria Police Department will take the lead in the investigation as part of the West Valley Incident Response Team.

No officers were injured.

Road closures are still in effect in the area Thursday morning.

Peoria Police Department says "Horizon Park will be closed until further notice" and "Horizon School should not be affected by this incident and is still in session."
