TEMPE, Ariz. — A man is in critical condition at a local hospital after he was shot while trying to allegedly break into someone's car, according to the Tempe Police Department.
Police responded to an apartment near the intersection of McClintock Drive & 12th Street early Tuesday morning after reports of a gunshot being fired. Officers reportedly found a man with a gunshot wound in the parking lot.
Two women in a nearby apartment reportedly heard their car alarm going off, police said. One of the women told authorities she stepped outside with a handgun to check the alarm and found a man who appeared to be breaking into the car.
The man was shot after an "altercation" between the man and woman, officers said.
Police reported later Tuesday morning that a woman involved in the incident has been arrested for aggravated assault. The investigation is still on-going as detectives continue to work the case.
There is no outstanding threat to the public.
