PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) - A man who allegedly threatened deputies with a gun at a Paradise Valley resort has been fatally shot, according to Maricopa County Sheriff’s officials.
They said the incident occurred about 8 a.m. Sunday at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.
Paradise Valley police said they were serving a search warrant on several individuals and asked for assistance from the sheriff’s SWAT team after one man refused to exit the room and peacefully surrender to officers.
Two sheriff’s deputies entered the room and attempted to take the man into custody after several hours of negotiations, according to authorities.
The man allegedly confronted the deputies with a gun and was shot by the SWAT team.
Two other suspects were taken into custody without incident.
The name of the man who was fatally shot wasn’t immediately released Sunday.
