SWAT officers kill man after 7-hour standoff
A 62-year-old man was fatally shot by police Tuesday night during a standoff at a midtown home that lasted for more than seven hours.
One officer suffered minor injuries during the incident, which occurred in the 2900 block of East Third Street, near East Speedway and North Country Club Road, said Sgt. Diana Lopez, a Tucson police spokeswoman.
SWAT officers shot the man when he came out of the house and refused to put down his firearm, Lopez said.
The incident began when officers went to the home after receiving a request to check on the man's well-being.
