GLENDALE, AZ — A late-night altercation in a Glendale neighborhood ended in gunfire, leaving one man dead, according to local authorities.

The incident occurred just after 10 p.m. near 63rd Avenue and Keim Drive, where officers responded to reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they discovered a man suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures before transporting him to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

According to investigators, the confrontation began as an argument between the deceased and another man, which escalated into a physical fight. The altercation initially ended when the man who was shot managed to break free and flee. However, he reportedly turned back toward the other individual and made what police described as a “movement like he was armed.” In response, the other man fired multiple shots, striking the alleged aggressor once.

Authorities have not yet disclosed whether the shooter has been arrested or will face any charges. The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement officials work to gather evidence and review any potential surveillance footage from the area.

Understanding “Furtive Movements” in Self-Defense Situations

This case highlights a key concept in self-defense law known as a “furtive movement.” If a person involved in a confrontation makes a sudden motion that could reasonably be perceived as reaching for a weapon, it can be grounds for the use of deadly force. However, these situations can be legally and ethically complex.

For those who carry firearms for self-defense, it is critical to understand how courts and law enforcement evaluate such incidents. Factors such as witness statements, video evidence, and the overall circumstances leading

up to the shooting play a significant role in determining justification. Additionally, if shots were fired after the initial threat had subsided, legal scrutiny increases.

While self-defense laws vary by state, responsible gun owners should always prioritize de-escalation when possible and be aware of how their actions may be interpreted in a legal setting.
