1 dead, 1 arrested: Phoenix pawn shop robbery investigation ends in police shooting

PHOENIX - Phoenix Police say a man was shot and killed by officers Saturday afternoon after he and a woman allegedly stole guns from a pawn shop.

The shooting happened near 22nd Avenue and Indian School Road around 4 p.m. on Jan. 27.

Police say the suspects stole guns from a nearby pawn shop. Several witnesses were able to provide police information to track down the suspects.

"When officers got to the area of 21st Avenue and Indian School Road they contacted a man and a woman believed to be involved. While contacting them, officers began to give verbal commands. An officer on scene discharged his 40 mm less-lethal launcher at the man who was refusing to obey commands," Phoenix Police Sgt. Brian Bower said.
