A 35-year-old man allegedly committed multiple shootings Sunday in Tucson, Arizona, with five people shot, and two or three children missing, the Associated Press reported Monday.
A 20-year-old ambulance driver was allegedly shot in the head by the suspect around 3:45 pm, and was in critical condition, according to the AP. A 21-year-old woman in the passenger’s seat was shot in the chest and arm but is now in stable condition.
The suspect reportedly then began a separate attack, shooting at firefighters and neighbors during an active house fire nearby, according to the AP. One neighbor died after being shot in the head. A firefighter was shot in the arm and another neighbor was almost shot in the head.
“This is a highly tragic, really horrific incident, with many unknowns,” Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said, according to AP.
The suspect reportedly drove his SUV into a responding police officer’s vehicle and opened fire before the cop found the suspect a couple of blocks away, according to the AP. The officer was not injured and shot the suspect, critically wounding him.
