Overview
- Police say a reported shooting at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill in Glendale began the sequence when a man told officers his wife shot at him and then left the scene Monday.
- The husband told police the woman sent him texts saying she would harm their children and later sent a photo showing a child bleeding, which prompted officers to go to a Phoenix residence.
- When officers entered the home near 47th–49th Avenues and Paradise Lane they found two children dead and the mother dead from apparent gunshot wounds in what Phoenix police are calling a murder‑suicide.
- Glendale officers found a woman shot in the head at the bar who was taken to hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries and is expected to survive; authorities have not released any identities.
- The case remains an active, multi‑scene investigation with Phoenix PD leading the probe at the home and Glendale PD handling the bar shooting; officials say more information will be released and crisis help is available via 988.
