Watch Phoenix Police Take Down Armed Man Outside Strip Mall

Nov. 17, 2022
Phoenix police officers fatally shot a man who threatened people with a handgun and began shooting following an argument with a motorcyclist at a strip mall.

A man who was threatening people with a gun was fatally shot by Phoenix police earlier this month in a shooting that was captured by body cameras.

The incident happened Nov. 2 when police responded to a strip mall where a man armed with a handgun had entered a store and began arguing with a motorcyclist, KPHO-TV reports. The man exited the store and was spotted by a police helicopter as he opened fire.

“He’s shooting at people in front of the store,” an officer is heard saying on the radio.

Once three officers reached the man, they began shooting and fatally wounded the suspect. An officer is then seen firing a less-lethal round at the man, who doesn't respond.

No officers were injured in the incident. The shooting is under internal investigation.
