Police went to an apartment complex near Elliot and Kyrene roads around 8 p.m. after the man dialed 911 and said he was going to kill himself. That led to a standoff during which police say the man came out onto his second-floor balcony at least twice and fired shots from a handgun. About 2:40 a.m., SWAT officers stormed the apartment. As they did, police say, the man grabbed a gun and when he pointed it at police at least two officers fired. Police say the man then pointed his gun at himself and fired. He died at the scene. A police spokesman says it wasn't immediately known whether the man died of a self-inflicted gunshot or from shots fired by police.
