A man is dead after a shooting involving Pinal County Sheriff's Office deputies Tuesday afternoon.
The incident happened near Southern Avenue and Tomahawk Road around 3:30 p.m.
Officials say Apache Junction police and PCSO deputies attempted to stop a man they say was recklessly driving a motor home during a domestic violence incident in Apache Junction.
Police say the man rammed a marked PCSO vehicle and returned to his home to barricade himself in, which later caused a fire that affected two other homes.
According to officials, the man was seen armed with a knife and a handgun.
The man allegedly began to fire at deputies from inside a detached garage. That is when officials say the deputy-involved shooting occurred.
Neighbors were evacuated as a precaution, according to officials.
ABC15 spoke to neighbors on Wednesday who say they have created an online fundraiser to help with the damaged homes.
The investigation remains ongoing.
