EAGAR, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a man who allegedly shot a woman and then a police officer in eastern Arizona is dead.

The Apache County Sheriff’s Office says the incident started when the suspect shot at the Church of Latter-Day Saints Stake Center in Eagar on Saturday afternoon from his pickup truck.

Sheriff’s officials say the suspect hit a woman in the shoulder and then fired at responding officers from several agencies.

An Eagar police officer was hit but has since been treated and released.

According to authorities, officers then pursued the suspect for several blocks until he ran inside a home.

The armed suspect allegedly then ran out toward a deputy and officers shot him.

He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

The injured woman’s condition remains unknown.
