A late-night shooting at a Buckeye home near Watson and Yuma roads left a man fighting for his life on Sunday, prompting a large police response but no ongoing public safety warning, according to authorities.
Buckeye police say officers were called to the home around 9 p.m. for reports of gunfire. When they arrived, they found a man who had been shot and rushed him to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The station reports that detectives are still interviewing people connected to the scene as they work to piece together what led up to the gunfire. Authorities have not released the victim's name or any additional details about the circumstances of the shooting.
