PHOENIX — Editor's note: The above video is from an earlier newscast.
Four people have been taken into custody after multiple shots were fired toward troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety, but no one was injured.
The shooting occurred just after midnight on Wednesday as troopers were responding to the area of southbound Interstate 17 to westbound Interstate 10 for a pedestrian in the roadway.
The department said the pedestrian, later identified as 18-year-old Lorenzo J. Munoz, was combative towards the responding trooper, but was eventually taken into custody.
The department said shortly after taking Munoz into custody, multiple shots were fired from an industrial area toward troopers.
One of those shots hit a trooper’s vehicle, the department said.
Three people who were believed to be involved in the shooting were taken into custody near 25th Avenue and Holly. They were later identified as 19-year-old Israel Herrera, 18-year-old Mykel A. Flores and 21-year-old J’Vonn D. Caldwell.
The department said all four, including Munoz, were armed.
A gray two-door Mitsubishi vehicle previously reported as stolen was also recovered from the area, the department said.
They were all booked on multiple charges.
The investigation is ongoing.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said the north- and southbound ramps from I-17 to westbound I-10 were closed due to the shooting. They reopened shortly after 7 a.m.
