During a press conference, police said an armed man threatened a maintenance worker in an apartment building.

Staff then called police, and ACPD says multiple departments responded. Once officers got on scene, they found an armed man in a garage.

Officers ordered him to drop the gun, but he refused, ACPD said. A Churchill officer fired a less-than-lethal round to try and subdue him, but he instead fired his own gun once toward officers.

Two other Churchill officers returned fire, shooting the suspect multiple times.

ACPD says the man is in critical condition.
