At least 2 injured after gunman goes on rampage at Arizona mall, one suspect in custody

At least two people have been shot after a gunman, reportedly wielding an AR-15 style rifle at the time of the attack, opened fire at a mall outside Phoenix, Arizona. One suspect has been apprehended.

The incident unfolded about 8 p.m local time at the Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale,  a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, some 9 miles northwest of Phoenix.

Local police have confirmed that at least two people “were struck by gunfire” in the wake of the shooting, while witnesses, including Arizona State Sen. Martín Quezada, reported that there are “multiple victims” resulting from the incident.

Please stay out of the #Westgate area. Preliminary info from our dispatch is there were at least two persons struck by gunfire and one person is in custody. PIO is enroute to the scene. Media staging for now will be West of the Arena.
