PHOENIX — Police took a suspect into custody after shooting at him during the arrest in Phoenix Friday night.
Just before midnight Friday, the Phoenix Police Department arrested 27-year-old Matthew Bia for allegedly breaking into a business near 51st Avenue and Baseline Road.
Officers said they tried communicating with Bia to have him come out of the business but he refused. Once Bia came out, police said he allegedly reached to his waistband and pulled his hand out quickly toward officers.
A 22-year-old officer believed Bia was pointing a gun and fired one shot at him but missed.
Bia was taken into custody, officials said, with minor cuts to his hands from the broken glass at the business.
This is the fifth officer-involved shooting reported in the Valley in 2022.
