A Flagstaff Police Department officer shot and killed a man Wednesday morning while trying to take him into custody on a warrant.

According to information from FPD, officers responded to the 1500 block of East Route 66 at approximately 4 a.m. to investigate a 911 call. The person who had dialed 911 left the line open and did not speak.

When the officers arrived in the area, they contacted a Caucasian man identified as Donald S. Myers, 32, of Flagstaff, who had a warrant for his arrest after failing to pay his fines in a 2014 domestic violence disorderly conduct case in Coconino County Superior Court. He fled from the officers.

The officers followed Myers on foot into a mobile home park off North Switzer Canyon Drive.

"They pursued and attempted to take him into custody," said FPD Sgt. Cory Runge.

At that point, one officer fired multiple shots at Myers. He was struck an undisclosed number of times and died at the scene. No officers or other civilians were injured.

FPD officers noted that Myers had a firearm. However, Runge was unable to say if Myers pointed the gun or fired it at the officers. He also could not confirm whether the firearm was recovered from the scene.
