OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A man reported to be in a mental health crisis was seen on West Bilby Road near Nogales Highway shooting a gun in the air. Police arrived to the home and allege that he fired in their direction. Police shot and killed him. The intersection consists of storage companies and is rather unpopulated. This occurred at night when it is unlikely that the area was heavily populated. It is unclear why police felt such a threat that they had to shoot. Awaiting bodycam and other evidence.
