A police officer was one of the two people killed in a shooting in southern Arizona early Saturday morning.
During the episode, five people were hurt, including another police officer.
The shooting happened at around 2 a.m. local time when police were called to a home for a “disturbance,” according to the Google+ page for the Gila River Police Department. The event took place in the Gila River Indian Community, an Indian community 35 miles southeast of Phoenix.
During the fight, which police say featured a “large crowd,” several shots were fired.
Police say that during the shooting, two Gila River police officers and four other people were hit.
Officer Joshua Briese and someone else, whose name has not been made public yet, died from their injuries.
The other cop is still in the hospital in serious but stable condition. Police say that the three other people who were hurt are also being treated at hospitals.
Boss Briese had been with the company for less than a year and was still in the field training.
The police department said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with these police officers, their families, and everyone else who was affected by this terrible event.”
The department is continuing to work with the FBI to look into what happened.
There are 14,000 people from the Pima and Maricopa groups living in the Gila River Indian Community.
