A 34-year-old man armed with two guns fired at Tucson police officers numerous times near Benson Highway and Country Club Road on Aug. 22, 2020. He was shot three times by an officer and is recovering at a Tucson hospital. The incident began shortly before 11 a.m. when officers were directed to a mobile home complex in the 3100 block of East Behan Street, near East Benson Highway and South Country Club Road, the possible location of a stolen vehicle, police said. Officers had seen the SUV earlier in the day but its driver fled an attempted traffic stop, police said. The first officer to arrive at the scene, Calderon, saw four people in the vehicle, which was reported stolen from a rental car business and had a GPS tracking device. All four people inside the vehicle got out and ran. A man who got out of the vehicle, later identified as Magnus Valenzuela, fired at Calderon before running into the nearby mobile home complex, police said. The man fired at Calderon again and the officer returned fire. The shooter kept running through the complex, then he pointed his guns at Jahnke - who was warned by Calderon that Valenzuela was approaching him from behind - and Jahnke fired at the shooter, striking him multiple times, police said. Valenzuela was armed with an AR .22 caliber pistol and a .40 caliber handgun, police said. Jahnke, a seven-year veteran of the department, and Calderon, a two-year veteran of the department, were the only two officers who fired their weapon. Three of the four people in the vehicle were detained, but no charges are expected to be filed against them, police said. A fourth person eluded capture.
