Three people were found shot near Dorsey Lane and Apache Boulevard in Tempe on Friday morning, according to police, in a triple shooting that left one person seriously hurt and two others with less severe injuries. Tempe police said the investigation is ongoing and that there are no outstanding suspects tied to the incident.
What Police Are Saying So Far
Officers responded to the area near the Dorsey/Apache light-rail stop on Feb. 20 and discovered three people suffering from gunshot wounds, FOX 10 Phoenix reported. One victim was described as seriously injured, while the other two had less serious wounds. Tempe police were handling the scene and had not released the victims' names or any possible motive, according to the station. The FOX 10 video brief remains the main public update so far.
Busy Transit Stop At Center Of Shooting
The shooting happened close to the Dorsey/Apache Valley Metro station, a light-rail stop that also connects to the Tempe streetcar along a busy east-west corridor in the city. The intersection has been central to redevelopment and affordable-housing debates in recent years, including mixed-use proposals tied to the station area, as covered by The Arizona State Press. The station itself sits in the median of Apache Boulevard just east of Dorsey Lane, according to the Dorsey/Apache Boulevard station entry on Wikipedia.
Detectives Working Leads, Few Details Released
Tempe police said detectives were continuing to investigate and follow leads into what happened at the light-rail stop, and no arrests had been announced in the early stages of the case. Authorities have not released further information on how the shooting unfolded or whether the victims knew one another. For now, the brief report from FOX 10 Phoenix remains the only public account with specific details on the incident.
