The Kingman Police Department was involved in an officer involved shooting today, Monday, February 26, 2024 at approximately 11:10 a.m. in the 2500 block of Kingman Ave. The shooting occurred after the Kingman Police Department responded to a 9-1-1 call of robbery at a bank in the 2400 block of Hualapai Mountain Rd. where a male suspect brandished a firearm.
The suspect left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash and was seen by witnesses leaving the area in a gray truck.
