ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ police shot and killed a man they say was firing a gun in a house then came outside after a long standoff carrying two guns early Wednesday morning.
David Judge, 53, had barricaded himself inside the house in the 6100 block of South Earp Wash Lane, near East Valencia Road and South Alvernon Way, after police responded to a call about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday about someone firing a rifle inside, police said in a news release.
