EL PASO -- A 41-year-old man is being treated in the hospital after he was shot by El Paso police officers. It happened early this morning in the 300 block of Mirasol in the Lower Valley.
Police say they were responding to a domestic disturbance call when the man crashed his car into their police car. When the man got out, he allegedly pointed a gun at the officers. That's when the officers drew their guns and shot the man.
No word on the man's condition, except that he's being treated for wounds in his stomach and thigh. He's facing several charges, including assault on a public servant.
Police haven't released his name.
