PHOENIX — A man was arrested after a woman was found dead in a Chandler apartment on Friday night, authorities said.
Police have not identified either involved in the fatal incident.
How was the woman found dead in the Chandler apartment?
Chandler police responded around 5 p.m. to reports of a domestic disturbance near Arizona Avenue and Galveston Street. A caller reportedly said that they heard an argument and what sounded like a gunshot.
When officers arrived on scene, they allegedly found an open apartment door with an unresponsive woman inside.
Police pulled the woman out of the apartment and she was pronounced dead.
According to Chandler police, the suspect’s mother told officers that her adult son had barricaded himself in the bathroom, claimed to be armed and refused to come out.
This caused Chandler Police SWAT to respond. They took the man into custody using non-lethal tools and a police K9.
He was then transported to the hospital for low blood pressure.
Police said that there was a handgun as well as a spent casing inside the apartment.
The woman’s death is being investigated as a homicide.
Chandler police said there is no ongoing threat to the community.
No other information was provided.

Way to protect the name of the apartment owners. There are 4 apartments in the vicinity, and they are all almost a mile away.
Ain't love grand?
Oddly, most people involved in a homicide, confronted by the SWAT team and chewed on by a police K9 don't suffer from a post incident low blood pressure medical emergency.
