SPOKANE -- Spokane Police released the names of the officers who shot a man in the front yard of a Spokane Valley home Friday.
Police say Spokane Valley officers Aaron Childress and Griffin Criswell both have over 10 years of law enforcement experience.
Officers also released more details surrounding the incident. According to detectives, a friend of David Glidden called 911 on Friday to report that Glidden was suicidal, saying he heard him cock a gun over the phone. Officers Childress and Criswell arrived at the home at 4727 E. 3rd Ave. at 12:37 p.m.
Police report Glidden came out of the house when officers arrived with a gun, and that both officers fired shots.
Glidden was transported to the hospital, where he was recently upgraded to serious but stable condition. Police have not released where on Glidden's body he was shot.
According to detectives, after a search warrant was obtained, police found an "airsoft" replica of a Colt 45 caliber semi-automatic handgun from the front steps of the house.
