Update: Phoenix police identified the suspect Thursday as 31-year-old Daniel Allen Sudberry.
A domestic violence situation led to a suspect shooting at officers and barricading himself before he died by suicide in a north Phoenix apartment complex, police said Saturday.
Phoenix Police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson said officers responded to a shots fired call at a complex near Seventh Street and Bell Road around 12:30 p.m.
The shots fired call was believed to have began after the suspect, a 31-year-old man, fired "several" shots inside of an apartment while a 30-year-old woman was inside.
Thompson referred to it as a "domestic dispute." Police later said the woman was the suspect's ex-girlfriend.
The woman was not injured and she was able to run out of the apartment.
While officers were talking to the woman after responding to the call, the man came out onto the balcony and fired "numerous rounds" at officers, striking a patrol vehicle "numerous times," Thompson said.
He later added that the car was struck as many as seven times.
The officers had to take cover, but no one was injured. No shots were fired from officers.
The Phoenix Police SWAT team was on scene trying to get the man to come out of the apartment, Thompson added. They negotiated for about three hours.
Thompson said officers did not know why the man began shooting at officers or what transpired in the domestic violence situation.
The "affected area" had been evacuated and there were restrictions in the area.
Phoenix Police tweeted that the situation was "over" just before 5:30 p.m. No officers were injured.
The suspect died by suicide after the 3-hour standoff and killed two dogs during the domestic dispute, police said.
Caroline Rose, who lives in the apartment complex, said she was checking the mail where she saw cops "everywhere" and caution tape lined up.
"It was like, 'Woah, what's going on?" she told 12 News.
Rose said she decided to go back inside after she had heard gunshots.
"I can feel it shake kind of, that's how close I was," she said.
"It was kind of" a scary moment, she added. "This is my home, I was in my home."
