PHOENIX — There is a large police presence in central Phoenix as officers search for a suspect who shot at two officers after speeding by them on Monday night.
Phoenix police told 12News that at about 10:15 p.m. on Monday, officers saw two cars speed by them near Central Avenue and Thomas Road.
The officers tried to pull one of the cars over, but when they did, a person inside the car shot at them multiple times. Neither of the officers nor their car were hit.
That car kept driving and later came to a stop near Second Street and Catalina Drive. Multiple people got out of the car and ran away.
Police are now in the area searching for the suspects. One person has been taken into custody, but police say more people may still be outstanding.
This is a developing story and more details will be added as they are made available.
