"That shooting marked the 31st of the year involving the Phoenix Police Department, matching an agency high for shootings in an entire calendar year,  records maintained by The Arizona Republic show. The incident continued the breakneck pace of law enforcement-involved shootings in the city, which is also driving a countywide tally — 59 this year — toward a record set five years ago. For perspective, there were 21 Phoenix Police Department shootings in 2017."
