Phoenix police say none of its officers were injured in a shooting in which a suspect is described as "down."
Phoenix police say a trespassing suspect is in extremely critical condition after being shot by an officer during a confrontation after officers unsuccessfully used stun guns to restrain the person.
Lt. Mark Tovar says the preliminary information indicates an officer shot the suspect Tuesday morning after perceiving a threat when the suspect advanced toward officers with an unspecified object in his hand.
Tovar said the encounter occurred when officers responded to a trespassing call and tried to take the suspect into custody near West Osborn Road and North Central Avenue.
No officers were injured.
