TUCSON — A man was shot and killed in a deputy shooting following a domestic dispute call, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities say they responded to the 6700 block of West Kay Lynn Drive after reports of a domestic dispute.

When officers arrived, they tried to speak with a man who was armed with two sharp objects, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

Police say the suspect was not cooperating and after multiple attempts of trying to deescalate the situation, the man continued to walk towards police, which prompted police to shoot.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene and no deputies or civilians were injured.

This is an ongoing investigation.
