Police said two suspects fled to an apartment complex near 64th Street and McDowell Road after a shooting in Phoenix earlier Wednesday morning.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Following a search near the Scottsdale city line, Phoenix police have taken three people into custody in connection with a shooting that happened early Wednesday morning.

Around 3:45 a.m., Phoenix police officers responded to reports of a shooting near 7th Street and Desert Lane from a person who claimed they were shot and now driving after the alleged shooters.

The suspects refused to pull over for police and drove until they reached an apartment complex near 64th Street and McDowell Road where they got out to flee on foot.

Police took one of the suspects into custody and searched the area for an outstanding suspect for several hours.

Scottsdale police are helping with the investigation and temporarily closed McDowell Road in the area. The roadway has since reopened.

At the moment, authorities have not identified the three people in custody. No one else is believed to be outstanding.

The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
