PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities are investigating a shooting in which Phoenix police killed a man armed with a knife.
The shooting happened Friday after officers responded to a call about a vehicle break-in. When officers arrived, they found the suspect holding a knife.
Police say the officers tried to use a Taser on the 23-year-old man three times but it had no effect. They say the man then began attacking the officers with the knife, prompting police to open fire.
