I could walk to the site of this and not break a sweat.

PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say a suspect in a domestic violence incident was shot and killed after he pulled out a gun and two Phoenix police officers opened fire.

Sgt. Tommy Thompson says neither of the officers, both 35-years-old, were injured in the shooting Monday night.

According to Thompson, the officers were investigating a domestic violence situation when they spotted a 51-year-old man who turned out to be a suspect in the case. When the officers attempted to contact the man, he pulled out a gun and the officers shot him.

The man's name has not been released. The officers are being placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, which is standard procedure.
