PHOENIX — A suspect is in the hospital Monday after a shooting incident at a Phoenix home, the city's police department said.
Around 1 a.m. Monday, police responded to the scene near 51st and Southern avenues for a shots fired call. A caller indicated several people were inside a home with guns, police said.
As officers arrived on the scene, they found a man outside the home with at least one gunshot wound. Officials said the man was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. No other injuries were reported.
Phoenix police said an initial investigation revealed several armed suspects forced their way into the house. A man living in the house then reportedly fired his weapon at the suspects. The gunfire struck the man found with gunshot wounds, authorities said.
