UPDATE: Tucson police ID man shot and killed during family fight call
A man who was shot by Tucson police officers during a family fight call Monday night has died, officials say.
The man has not yet been publicly identified.
Police were called about 7 p.m. to a house in the 4000 block of South Ninth Avenue, near West Ajo Way and South Sixth Avenue, for a report of a family fight, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, a police spokesman.
Dugan said that prior to arriving at the residence, police learned that the man was armed with a knife and had been making suicidal remarks.
Upon arrival, officers were able to evacuate the family, but the man locked himself in a bathroom for about two hours, police said. Later, officers said they realized the man was “cutting himself” in the bathroom.
When exiting the bathroom, the man came out with a weapon, and was shot, Dugan said.
Two officers are believed to have fired at the man.
No officers were wounded. The two officers have not been identified.
The investigation continues.
