KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - The Lake Havasu City Police Department is investigating a shooting in Kingman that involved the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s deputies were called out to a Kingman home Saturday after 29-year-old Shawn Campbell reportedly had been in an argument with several family members and fired multiple gunshots.
When deputies arrived, Campbell allegedly fired his weapon at one of them and retreated into his residence.
A SWAT team tried to communicate with Campbell and authorities say there was an exchange of gunfire between Campbell and four SWAT officers.
It was unclear if Campbell had been injured by the gunfire.
Sheriff’s officials said a single gunshot was heard from inside the residence later and Campbell was found dead, apparently by suicide.
Protocol calls for an outside agency investigate an officer-involved shooting incident, according to sheriff’s officials.
They said the four deputies who fired their guns are on administrative lead until the investigation is completed.
