Two juveniles were found with gunshot wounds in a north Phoenix neighborhood on Saturday and were taken to a hospital with injuries police described as non-life-threatening. The shooting happened near Cave Creek Road and Cinnabar Avenue, where officers closed nearby streets while detectives processed the scene.
As reported by 12News, officers located the juveniles with at least one gunshot wound and staged a mobile command van in the 9000 block of North 13th Place. Police told the outlet, "Their injuries are non-life-threatening," while detectives kept the area shut down to collect evidence.
Scene and investigation
According to 12News, a mobile command post and multiple patrol units were visible as officers canvassed the block and gathered evidence. The closure around North 13th Place disrupted local traffic and kept residents from passing through while investigators worked the scene.
What officials say and next steps
Phoenix police have not released any suspect descriptions or information about a possible motive, and say the investigation is ongoing. Media inquiries and requests for official statements can be directed to the department via the city's media relations page.
