YAVAPAI COUNTY, Ariz. — Chino Valley police officers fatally shot a man Tuesday after he allegedly assaulted his brother, attacked another man with a hammer, and robbed a retail store.
According to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, the suspect was shot after he allegedly raised a gun toward officers.
YCSO has identified the deceased as 53-year-old Carl Schaede, a registered sex offender.
Before he was shot, Schaede allegedly assaulted his brother and another man at their home in Paulden. The suspect then fled to a nearby Dollar General where he assaulted the store's manager.
YCSO said the suspect then traveled to Paulden Community Center armed with a gun and allegedly made threats to the center's visitors.
Authorities tracked the suspect after he left the community center, leading to a standoff near the train trestle off State Route 89. Officers shot Schaede after he allegedly refused to comply with commands.
State Route 89 will be closed from Interstate 40 to Big Chino Road as authorities investigate the shooting.
