Phoenix police responded to a report of shots fired:
Police say several armed suspects forced themselves inside the home. That’s when a man inside the house was armed and began firing at the group of suspects, striking one of them. Authorities say the rest of the suspects ran off from the area.
Once officers arrived, they located one suspect, and he was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. No one else inside the house was injured.
The video posted with the story shows officers clearing a car, and with pistols (with lights attached).
Information from the video says that a woman and two children were escorted out of the home, leading me to believe that this is a case where a man defended his family against armed intruders. A pistol with an extended magazine is pictured in the driveway; perhaps one of the intruders dropped it when fleeing? Unfortunately, with few details, it’s hard to speculate further.
By way of follow-up, the one person shot that evening has died. See story here.
