A suspect is dead, and no officers were hurt in Phoenix following a shooting involving officers on Saturday afternoon.
Phoenix Police say the shooting happened near 50th Street and McDowell Road around 2 p.m. on Dec. 16.

Sgt. Soliz gave more details about what led up to the shooting.
She says several people called 911 about a man who'd been stabbed near a business at 44th Street and McDowell Road.
"Officers contacted the suspect near 49th Street and McDowell Road, who was holding an object in his hand. When officers gave him commands, the man yelled back at officers and continued to walk away, weaving in and out of oncoming traffic. One officer used a PepperBall launcher to get the man to stop," police said.
