GLENDALE, AZ — A man is dead after a shooting involving Glendale police officers near 59th Avenue and Thunderbird Road.

On Wednesday afternoon, officers were called to the area around 12:30 p.m. regarding a man with an order of protection against him who was not leaving a home.

At the scene, a suspect barricaded himself inside and had been making threats against himself and people inside the home. A woman and a child were also inside the home during the incident, though police say they were able to make it out safely.

After hours of negotiations, police say the suspect fired shots toward officers who then fired back.

The suspect was "critically injured" and taken to a hospital for treatment. He has since died at the hospital.

Police identified the man Thursday as 37-year-old man Karl Komorowski.

No officers were injured during the shooting.

This is the second shooting involving police this week. Two Phoenix police officers were injured near 16th Street and McDowell Road on Tuesday.

The investigation remains ongoing.
