Four Party Shootings Across Metro Phoenix Leave 11 Injured

Police say the incidents appear unrelated pending evidence.

Overview

  • Clusters of party shootings across Litchfield Park, Tolleson and Avondale on Saturday, plus a Tempe case late Sunday, left 11 people injured with no confirmed links.
  • In Litchfield Park, surveillance video shows more than a minute of rapid gunfire that scarred homes and cars with bullet holes while four minors suffered non-life-threatening wounds.
  • Near 95th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, a house party in the Tolleson area saw five people shot around 1:20 a.m. Saturday, including a 16-year-old girl who was listed as serious but stable.
  • At an Avondale apartment pool party Saturday evening, a 15-year-old boy was shot in the leg and two people matching suspect descriptions were detained nearby.
  • Tempe police said a late Sunday pool-party shooting left one person with non-life-threatening injuries and detectives detained multiple people as they work to determine each person’s role and whether any arrests are warranted.
