Nine Arizona police officers were wounded Friday morning – believed to be the highest number of officers shot in one day – while responding to a shooting that led to an hours-long barricaded situation, which ended with the suspect being found dead inside the Phoenix home, according to investigators.

The incident began around 2:15 a.m. local time, and was resolved at about 7 a.m., police said. Phoenix Police initially responded to a report of a woman shot at a home in the area of 51st Avenue and Elwood Street – and the suspect allegedly invited the officers inside – before he opened fire and struck one of the officers multiple times, police officials said.

“The suspect ambushed him with a gun and shot him several times,” Sgt. Andy Williams told reporters at the scene.

More officers were then targeted shortly thereafter, when a man who was not the suspect placed an infant in a pink-colored carrier outside the home, police said. Police do not immediately believe the baby was brought out in an attempt to lure other officers.
