Alta Vista Rd. when Phoenix Police received multiple calls about people being stabbed.<br><br>The first two officers on scene could see an elderly woman on the ground in front of the house with injuries. As they made their way to the doorway, the suspect could be seen holding two knives, one in each hand while kneeling closely behind a woman who was suffering obvious injuries. Several police commands were given to the suspect. The suspect did not comply with the commands and continued to assault the woman. That is when the officer fired his rifle striking the man. <br><br>Shortly after the shooting, an officer moved the injured elderly victim away from the front of the house. She was later transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<br><br>The officer returned to remove the second injured woman from inside the home. She was transported to the hospital where she died from her injuries.<br><br>Additional officers arrived on scene, entered the house, and detained the suspect. Both knives he was holding were found near the suspect. Officers ensured there were no other victims inside the home. The suspect was pronounced deceased on scene.<br><br>Additional knives were seized from the home as evidence. <br><br>The officer involved in this incident is assigned to the Maryvale Estrella Mountain Precinct and has approximately 7 years of service with the department.<br><br>Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete.
