Update on Scottsdale Police sergeant shooting

Описание: A man accused of shooting a Scottsdale police sergeant in downtown Phoenix on Jan. 6 was reportedly shot and killed by police while being taken into custody in Tempe.

According to Scottsdale Police Chief Jeff Walther, the incident began on Friday at around 7 p.m. when members of the Scottsdale Police's Special Assignments Unit were serving a search warrant at an apartment complex near 1st Avenue and Roosevelt.

The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Kenneth Hearne, was wanted for a number of unspecified offenses.

When Scottsdale authorities arrived at the apartment, a woman and child came out. Hearne was spotted inside and ducked behind a wall, police said. Detectives were trying to talk to him when they were shot at through the wall, and a sergeant was hit.

Officers shot back, but it is unknown if Hearne was struck.

Sgt. Scott Galbraith was reportedly shot in the abdomen. On Sunday, Scottsdale Police said Galbraith, a 19-year veteran of the department, was released from the hospital to recover at home.

Galbraith is expected to make a full recovery and be able to return to full duty.
