Witness captures video of Maryvale shooting

New details tonight on an officer-involved shooting in a Maryvale neighborhood that left a woman hospitalized. Police say that she was armed with a handgun before officers opened fire. Megan Specker has the latest on this tonight. Megan. Neighbors tell me the chaos started with a police helicopter circling overhead, and it ended with gunshots fired right outside their homes. Tense moments in a West Phoenix neighborhood, captured on a neighbor's cell phone. Around 7:15 last night, near 73rd Drive in Sells, Phoenix police responded to calls of a person with a gun. With help from a police helicopter, officers spotted a woman walking in the street holding a handgun. Moments after officers gave those warnings, shots rang out and the woman fell to the ground. Police haven't said why officers opened fire, only confirming that after issuing commands, one officer fired a 40-millimeter less lethal launcher and another fired their duty rifle, striking her. According to police, because the gun was still in her reach, officers sent in a canine to help take her into custody. Yes, I watched this all happen right in front of my eyes, yes. One neighbor who asked not to show his face on camera, watched the entire encounter from his front yard. Go to my front of my home and I see this person pacing back and forth. This person was not listening to any of the commands that the helicopter was saying. I mean, the officer just shot her and all of a sudden, The dogs came and got her. He didn't recognize the woman, but said it was clear she wasn't in her right mind. The way it happened, it just, there has to be certain different ways of managing mental crisis issues with people. The incident is now under investigation by DPS along with an internal investigation by Phoenix PD. The factors that led up to it that's obviously obviously going to be investigated by the Department of Public Safety's major incident division who responds to all of our critical incidents. So we're still going through that process. Phoenix police did confirm that no officers or other community members were hurt. The woman was taken to the hospital, but we have not been given an update on her condition. Live in Phoenix, Megan Spector, Fox 10 News.
