Gunfire Erupts Under I-17 Overpass, Two Men Wounded in North Phoenix

Gunfire under a busy north Phoenix freeway underpass sent two men to the hospital Sunday night and left a woman in handcuffs as detectives worked to untangle what happened near the Interstate 17 and Cactus Road interchange.

According to Phoenix police, the call came in just before 8:30 p.m. when an off-duty officer reported hearing a gunshot in the area. At nearly the same time, multiple 911 callers told dispatchers that two men were fighting and that shots had been fired nearby. Responding officers found two men with gunshot wounds and got them to a local hospital, where their injuries were described as non-life-threatening. A woman believed to be connected to the incident was detained at the scene, though investigators have not said how she may have been involved. As ABC15 Arizona reported, the investigation remained active into the night as the underpass stayed taped off.
