SCOTTSDALE, AZ — A woman is injured following a shooting involving Scottsdale police officers at the McKellips station.

Officials say at around 9:45 a.m. Thursday, a woman arrived at the station near Miller and McKellips roads.

The woman reportedly entered the customer service lobby, pulled out a handgun, and pointed it at an unarmed employee.

The employee, who was behind a protective glass, was able to retreat and notify armed officers inside the building.

Officials say when officers made their way to the lobby, the woman was still holding the gun. She was given commands to drop the gun, but refused and reportedly pointed it at officers.

One officer then fired his weapon and "neutralized" the woman. Officials say the woman was struck by at least one round and had injuries.

The woman's gun then fell to the ground, allowing other officers to subdue her.

She was taken to a hospital and remains in custody.

The Scottsdale Police Department is still looking into why the woman was there in the first place.

The Mesa Police Department will investigate the officer-involved shooting.

No other details have been released.
