Gunfire rattled one of Scottsdale's busiest crossroads Wednesday morning, as police responded to a shots fired call near North Miller Road and East Camelback Road and urged people nearby to steer clear while officers worked the scene. Early word from the department is light on specifics, with no immediate details on injuries or suspects while the investigation remains active.
On X, Scottsdale Police told followers that officers were "working a shots fired call" in the Miller and Camelback area and asked the public to "avoid the area at this time. This is an active scene and ongoing investigation," according to Scottsdale Police. The alert went up on May 6, 2026, with officials saying more information will be released when they have it.
What We Know So Far
The reported scene sits in Old Town Scottsdale, a dense strip of bars, restaurants, and shops just a short walk from Scottsdale Fashion Square and the Camelback Miller Plaza. It is a part of town that usually hums with pedestrians and cars, which could translate into delays for people heading into downtown while officers secure the area.
So far, Scottsdale police have not released any information about possible victims, arrests, or suspects. They have said updates will come as the investigation moves forward. Anyone who saw or heard anything is asked to contact the Scottsdale Police Department non-emergency line at 480-312-5000, or call 911 in an emergency.
Recent Local Context
This latest alert lands less than a week after an April 30 officer-involved shooting at a Scottsdale police substation, an incident that drew heavy local attention and coverage. That earlier episode was reported by Arizona's Family.
We will update this story as Scottsdale police release new information. For now, avoid the Miller and Camelback area and stick with official department channels for verified updates.
