Initially, officers responded to the area of 49th Avenue and Thunderbird Road for reports of a shooting.

Officers said a shooting victim was found at this location and the person did not survive.

The suspect was taken to the hospital where he later died.

No officers were injured in the incident, police said.

Police said the area where the shooting happened will be shut down for an extended period of time.
