GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Goodyear police confirmed that a call for shots fired at a local McDonald's put several nearby stores into lockdown. Police say that the shooter was a 17-year-old man, but have released no further information.

Around 10:19 a.m. police received multiple calls for shots fired near Estrella Parkway and West Van Buren Street.
