The TPD says it happened on East Congress Street and North 6th Avenue about 2:00 a.m. when officers responded to reports of shots fired.

Officers gave the suspect multiple commands before a uniformed officer fired his department-issued firearm and hit the suspect.
The suspect was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
During the initial shooting, multiple people sustained gunshot trauma.
Officers immediately provided medical aid to many of the victims before TFD personnel arrived and transported all the victims to a local hospital for treatment.
No officers were injured during the incident.
The Pima Regional Critical Incident Team, or PRCIT, has been activated to handle the criminal investigation of this incident. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is the lead investigating agency for this officer-involved shooting.

Investigators are asking anyone with information or who may have video of the incident to contact 88-CRIME, and reference Pima County Sheriff’s Department case number 260719048. You can remain anonymous.
