Mesa officers involved in overnight shooting, suspect hospitalized

Posted

Mesa police officers were involved in a shooting early Thursday morning at a home near the 900 block of South Pasadena where a 33-year-old man was injured, authorities said.

No officers were injured, police said.

The suspect was treated at the scene, was taken to a hospital, is stable and is expected to survive, police said.

Officers responded just after midnight Sept. 18, to a family fight call at a home.

The suspect came out of the home when officers arrived “and immediately pointed a gun at both officers. This is when the officer-involved shooting occurred,” according to a Mesa Police Department release.

Two officers fired their weapons during the incident, police said. 

The Tempe Police Department is investigating the officer-involved shooting under the East Valley Critical Incident Response process.

Through the investigation on scene regarding the initial call for service, investigators determined probable cause exists for a domestic-violence-related charge. Once released from the hospital, the suspect will be booked into jail, police said.
