One man is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after an officer-involved shooting in midtown before 1 a.m. early Saturday morning.
Tucson Police say they responded to a call from an apartment complex at 811 E. Prince Rd. from a woman requesting police assistance and advising there were weapons involved.
When officers got to the scene, they found a woman yelling inside one of the apartments and asked her and a man to go outside. While the first man was being detained, a second man appeared from inside the apartment.
