Once officers got on scene, they found an armed man in a garage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Officers ordered him to drop the gun, but he refused, ACPD said. A Churchill officer fired a less-than-lethal round to try and subdue him, but he instead fired his own gun once toward officers. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Two other Churchill officers returned fire, shooting the suspect multiple times. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">ACPD says the man is in critical condition. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Channel 11 has a crew on scene.
