The incident occurred shortly before 2 a.m., when officers responded to reports about a man in crisis in the 6900 block of East Calle Jupiter, near South Kolb Road.
A sergeant, who was on the phone with the man, tried to deescalate the situation and commanded him to drop his weapon. The man was shot when he walked into the street holding the gun, police said.
