FLAGSTAFF, AZ (AZFamily) — A man is dead after being shot by deputies at a campground in Flagstaff late Saturday night.

Coconino County deputies responded to the KOA campground near Highway 89 and Smokerise Drive at 10 p.m. for reports of a suicidal man with a gun, officials with the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office said.

When deputies got to the scene, they found the woman who called 911 and her husband engaged in a struggle for a gun, officials said.

The man was given commands to drop the gun and did not comply, according to officials. That’s when the deputy fired his gun, hitting the man, officials said.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting is being investigated by the Northern Arizona Officer Involved Shooting Task Force, which is being led by the Flagstaff Police Department.

This is the 71st shooting involving law enforcement in Arizona so far this year.
