PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say a man is dead after being shot inside a bathroom at a west Phoenix gasoline station.

Phoenix police say officers responded to a shooting call at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.

Witnesses reported seeing and hearing a fight between two men in the bathroom of a QuikTrip at Camelback Road and 27th Avenue.

As the two were fighting in the bathroom, police say one man shot the other.

The victim was taken to the hospital where authorities say he died of his injuries.

His name hasn’t been released yet.

Police say the alleged shooter told officers that the other man was physically assaulting him and he fired in self-defense.

It’s still unclear if that man will be facing charges.
