A Saturday afternoon dispute between two vehicles in south Phoenix erupted into deadly gunfire, leaving one man dead and three others — including two children — fighting for their lives, authorities said.
According to Fox News, the shooting unfolded around 2:45 p.m. in a business Parking lot after a confrontation between a sedan and an SUV escalated. Phoenix Police Sgt. Brian Bower said the drivers of both vehicles pulled into the lot as the argument continued.
What began as a verbal dispute quickly turned physical. “The dispute continued in the Parking lot and a physical fight ensued,” Bower said during a news conference. Moments after the altercation, shots rang out.
According to police, the suspect — a man driving the sedan — was alone. The SUV carried a man, a woman, and two children. Multiple rounds were fired, striking everyone inside the SUV.
The adult male passenger died at the scene, Bower confirmed. The woman and two children were rushed to the hospital, where they remain in critical condition.
