The story from Phoenix was
9 officers hurt, 1 woman dead in shooting 'ambush' near 51st Avenue and Broadway

The identification of the suspect came from relatives, and so did the picture.
A later story says what’s going on:
PHOENIX — A man who shot his ex-girlfriend at a Phoenix home early Friday ambushed the first officer on the scene, seriously injuring him, then opened fire on other police as they tried to rescue a baby that was left outside the door.
The woman later died. In all, five officers were shot, including four who were wounded while trying to take the baby to safety. Four more officers were injured by shrapnel or ricocheting bullets, police said.
Of the five shot, four remain hospitalized. All of the officers were expected to survive, and the baby girl was unharmed.
“A baby is safe today because of our Phoenix police officers," Mayor Kate Gallego said at a news conference near the scene.
The most seriously injured officer was the first to arrive at the home, around 2:15 a.m., following a report of a woman shot. He was invited inside, Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Williams said.
“As he approached the doorway, the suspect ambushed him with a gun and shot him several times,” he said. “That officer was able to get back and get away to safety.”
….
Federal court records show Jones has a criminal history dating back to at least 2007, when he was sentenced in Oklahoma to seven years in prison for using a firearm during a drug trafficking crime and possessing a fire arm after a felony conviction.
Records also show Jones pleaded guilty in March 2020 to conspiring to transport, for profit, people who were in the country illegally near the San Simmons area in southeastern Arizona. He was sentenced to three years of probation. Prosecutor sought to revoke his probation because they say Jones used marijuana and cocaine in the spring of 2021 and punched his girlfriend in the face and took her gun.
In September, his probation was revoked, and he was sentenced to federal prison for five months.
Phoenix police say man shot ex-girlfriend before ambush
Police have identified 36-year-old Morris Jones as the deceased suspect in a shooting in Phoenix that injured nine officers

This story doesn’t either say what race Jones was, or show a picture. We also don’t know for sure what race the dead girlfriend was. I tweeted that here was one clue that he wasn’t a "right-wing domestic terrorist": poor marksmanship.
When you hear that someone has shot nine people without killing them, it’s usually a black mass shooter — see my 2017 article The “Leaded Law” And Mass Shootings — Poor Black Marksmanship Is Saving Lives.
