PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix police say a man wielding a knife inside a store was shot by an officer.
Authorities say the incident occurred Sunday night near 43rd Avenue and Union Hills Drive.
The suspect entered a store and started threatening to stab people. Police say an employee managed to get the man outside and then locked the doors.
Investigators say he then proceeded to threaten people in the parking lot.
When a police officer showed up, the suspect allegedly chased her around the patrol car. After continuing to refuse commands to put the knife down, she fired her weapon at him.
The 55-year-old suspect was transported to a hospital. Police said he was listed in stable condition Monday.
His name will be released once he is booked into Maricopa County jail.
Police say the officer has been with the department for less than a year.
