Deadly force

Officers received a call at 8:10 a.m. from employees at Johnson-Stewart Materials, a commercial truck repair shop. The employees told police a person they did not recognize was walking around the work site peeking into vehicles. When officers arrived at the recycling plant at 8:14 a.m., they saw someone looking into vehicles. Officers approached the person who was reportedly hiding in a other and gave orders, but Mesa police say the man did not comply officer's commands and allegedly pointed his handgun at Mesa officers, and officers shot and killed him.
