Avondale police shot a man late Friday afternoon, who was later pronounced dead, authorities said.
Authorities said an Avondale officer responding to a domestic-violence call was met by a man armed with a knife at a home near 117th Avenue and Buckeye Road.
Police said the armed man became confrontational, and at some point, the officer fired multiple rounds.
The shooter, whose name was not released, was struck twice and flown to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Detective Reuben Gonzales, an Avondale police spokesman, said the shooting is under investigation and has been turned over to the Glendale Police Department.
