One person wouldn't give their identity, and a "disturbance" occurred. Shots were fired by at least one officer, APD stated. An adult man was killed, and his identity is currently unknown. Authorities claimed the suspect was "in possession of a handgun" during the shooting. “We won't tolerate nests of drugs, guns and criminal activity, and we'll keep fighting to clean up problem properties,” Mayor Tim Keller said. “Unfortunately, this proactive approach turned violent today, and someone lost their life. This potential for violence is why we had APD in the area to keep city employees and innocent people safe. I'm thankful for the work they do every day to clean up criminal activity.” The Multi-Agency Task Force is investigating the incident. No other details on the shooting have been released.
