A Phoenix homeowner shot a man after an argument early Wednesday, Phoenix police said.

The homeowner, identified as 48-year-old Christopher Wingo, got into an argument with the man at about 1:30 a.m. near 2000 E. Yale St., which is near State Route 51 and Thomas Road, according to Sgt. Vince Lewis, a Phoenix Police Department spokesman.

After pointing a gun at the man, the homeowner escorted him and others from the property, according to police. The homeowner followed the man while police were called.

The man reportedly turned and charged the homeowner, who then shot the man, according to Lewis.

The man was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and was in ''extremely critical'' condition late Wednesday afternoon, police said. He was not identified by police.

Wingo was arrested and booked on aggravated-assault charges. He also was being held on suspicion of an unrelated manslaughter case involving a different incident and victim, police said.

Further details were not immediately available.
