One person was killed and eight others were injured in a shooting on Saturday at a strip mall in Phoenix, according to Phoenix police.

 

The shooting occurred at around 1 a.m., police said. They responded to multiple shooting calls in the area of 10th Avenue and Hatcher Road, and people fled from a strip mall parking lot when officers arrived, police said. Multiple victims were located both at the scene and nearby.

 

So far, nine victims have been identified. Detectives say the investigation is preliminary, but said there was a large crowd gathered at a party in a strip mall when an altercation led to a shooting. The shooting, police said, took place inside and in a nearby parking lot and roadway.

Start arming the buildings. 

Having spent considerable time in the Phoenix area, I can tell you it is a dangerous place.  It is also a well-armed area.  Listening to the morning news, it's usually a litany of various shootings.   On the plus side, it's pretty easy to avoid the drug and alcohol fueled parties where many shootings occur.  The ones that scare me are the road rage shootings.  It's pretty easy to be driving at a good clip and have someone decide you're not driving fast enough.
