PHOENIX — Phoenix police have taken a person into custody following a shooting in Phoenix that left two people hospitalized.
Around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, officers responded to a shooting call at a home near 40th Street and East Hearn Road, which is east of the Piestewa Freeway.
Two people, a man and woman, were taken to the hospital after being shot, one with life-threatening injuries. The shooter is now in police custody, officials said.
It doesn't appear that the suspect shot at police officers, authorities said.
Gregory Alt, the home's resident, told police he shot the man and woman in self-defense. He was booked into jail on a number of charges including weapons violations and drug offenses.
Detectives have not yet been able to interview the two victims due to their medical conditions.
