BUCKEYE, Ariz. (AP) - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says two deputies fatally shot a man approaching them with a hammer after he threw a large wrench and it struck one of the deputies.
The Sheriff's Office says the shooting occurred Friday night in the backyard of a residence in the Buckeye area when the deputies responded to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance.
A statement released by the office identified the man who was killed as 39-year-old Juan Torres and said one of the deputies suffered minor injuries.
No additional information was immediately available.
