GLENDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — A domestic violence call led to police shooting a man armed with a knife at a Glendale pawn shop on Wednesday morning.

The shooting was reported at a pawn shop near 67th Avenue and Bell Road shortly around 10 a.m.
Glendale LT. Wade Kamman said officers received reports about a domestic violence incident at the business. Kamman said that a man and woman went inside the shop, and the woman attempted to purchase a firearm.
“It’s still being investigated, but there was a possibility that he was not eligible to buy a firearm and she was,” Kamman explained.
However, the manager of the shop noticed the woman had a large cut on her hand. Kamman says the woman mouthed “call 911″ to the manager, leading him to call the police.
Once officers arrived, they saw the man appeared to be “aggravated and upset.” Police told the two to separate, but that’s when the man reportedly wrapped his arm around the woman’s neck and pulled out a knife.
Kamman says one officer attempted to use less-lethal means to apprehend the suspect, but was ineffective. That’s when another officer fired at the suspect, striking him.
Exclusive video obtained from Scott Repman shows the officer’s response. His auto shop, Scott Repman’s Truck and Auto Repair, is in the same parking lot as the pawn shop.
“The police showed up, no lights, no sirens. They were very quiet,” Repman said. “It’s just a matter of seconds of the second officer coming in, you hear the gun blast.”

The suspect was taken to the hospital and is being treated with non-life-threatening injuries. No officers were hurt.
The woman was also hospitalized due to the cut and is cooperating with the investigation, according to police.
Video from Arizona’s Family shows officers taping off the pawn shop’s entrance and a large area of the strip mall parking lot.
Kamman says the business is expected to be shut down for several hours as the investigation continues, but stresses there is no threat to the public.
The lieutenant advised the public to always take steps to report any suspicious activity.
“With the safety of our community, it all hinges on the relationship that we as the police department have with our community members. When things like this happen, taking those steps to call the police department, get officers there as quickly as possible, it helps us protect the community at large and make sure that we’re saving lives as best that we can,” Kamman explained.
This is the 38th officer-involved shooting in the state this year.
