PHOENIX (AP) - A woman is expected to survive after being wounded when officers returned fire after she fired a shot during a struggle, the Phoenix Police Department said.

The shooting occurred Wednesday after officers went to a hotel in response to a 911 call from a person who reported seeing a woman firing a weapon, police said in a statement.

According to police, responding officers made contact with the woman and then tried to detain her after discovering she was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant and had drugs in her possession.



The woman fired a shot during a struggle and officers returned fire, the police statement said.

The woman’s identity wasn’t released and no one else was injured.
