Police said officers began shooting at the man after he pointed up a handgun and fired it into the air.
A man was shot and killed by Phoenix police officers on Saturday night after he tried to break into an apartment in north Phoenix, according to police.
Police said officers found a man in his late 70s who wanted to"retrieve items" from an apartment, but he agreed to leave after no one answered the door. Police said the man pulled out a handgun after he saw officers approaching him. Police told him to drop the gun as they used a"less lethal tool," Sgt. Krynsky said.
