Phoenix police say the incident began around 11:30 p.m. Monday when officers spotted a vehicle driving in a manner which led them to believe the driver was impaired, according to the Associated Press.
Sgt. Trent Crump says the motorist evaded a traffic stop late Monday night after he appeared to be impaired. Police say the driver accelerated toward the officers and a vehicle pursuit was initiated.
Crump says officers later shot at the car and killed the driver after the vehicle struck a brick wall at a home and the man tried drive off - first in one direction toward officers and then in another direction toward a different officer.
The identities of the man and boy have not been revealed. The young boy was luckily not harmed during the incident.
