TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - An armed teenager wanted on felony warrants has been fatally shot by a Tucson police officer who was trying to make an arrest.
Police said the 17-year-old boy died at the scene Wednesday.
The teen’s name wasn’t immediately released.
Police said the boy was facing multiple felony counts related to crimes in midtown Tucson including armed robbery, aggravated assault with a weapon, aggravated robbery and burglary.
Officers located the teen Wednesday afternoon and say he pulled out a gun before being shot.
Police said an internal investigation is being done, which is standard practice when an officer fires a service weapon in the line of duty.
Footage from officers’ body cameras will be reviewed as part of the investigation process.
