Chandler police are investigating a homicide at an apartment complex near Loop 101 and Ray Road. 

According to police, officers were sent to the complex around midnight Friday to investigate shots fired. A second call came in while officers were on the way from a man who said he had shot another man. 

Police were able to locate the caller and the man who was shot, and they pronounced the man with the gunshot wound dead at the scene. 

During the investigation, officers learned that the shooting happened during a physical fight between the shooter and the man who was killed. 

The shooter was taken to Chandler Police Headquarters to be interviewed and then to the hospital for treatment of injuries suffered during the altercation. 

Police say there were no other witnesses to the fight, so investigators are still working on a full report of what happened. They say no charges have been filed against the shooter at this time and they're working to determine whether he is considered a victim in this case. 

The investigation is still ongoing.
