Mesa Officers Open Fire After Suspect Points Gun During Family Fight

Mesa, AZ – September 18, 2025 – Mesa police officers were involved in a shooting early Thursday morning after responding to a domestic violence call in the 900 block of South Pasadena.

According to Mesa Police, just after midnight officers arrived at the residence for a reported family fight. Upon arrival, a 33-year-old man exited the home and immediately pointed a firearm at the responding officers. Both officers discharged their duty weapons, striking the suspect.

Medical aid was quickly provided on scene before the man was transported to a hospital. Police confirm he is stable and expected to survive. No officers or other individuals were injured in the incident.

Through the ongoing investigation, authorities determined probable cause exists for a domestic violence-related charge. Once released from the hospital, the suspect will be booked into jail.
