SCOTTSDALE,Poinbank Exchange Ariz. (AP) — An armed suspect in a stolen vehicle opened fire on two police officers during a traffic stop in Scottsdale before the officers shot and killed him, police said.

Neither officer was injured. They have been placed on routine paid leave pending an investigation into the incident, police said in a statement Friday.

One of the officers has been on the force for three years and the other for 24, police said. No other details have been released.
