Glendale shooting, stabbing leaves 3 hurt; suspect arrested
GLENDALE, Ariz. - A woman has been arrested after she allegedly stabbed a man in the back during an altercation at an apartment complex in Glendale.
The incident happened just before midnight on April 10 near 59th Avenue and Camelback Road. A man told police he began recording an altercation between two women and a group of people on his cellphone.
One of the women, identified as 22-year-old Runesha White, allegedly threatened the man with a beer bottle and stabbed him in the back after he refused to delete the video.
After being stabbed, the man told police he ran to his apartment while being chased by the two women. He allegedly grabbed a gun and fired at the women.
The man barricaded himself inside his apartment until police arrived.
Officers took White into custody. The man was taken to a hospital, and the second woman was hospitalized for a gunshot wound to her leg. She was not identified.
"While being transported to the Glendale City Jail, [White] was uncompliant and when an officer was removing her from his marked patrol vehicle, [White] flicked blood onto the officer's forearm and said, ‘Here you go,’" court documents read. "Officers saw blood on [White's] hands and blood on the officer's forearm."
After being taken into custody, police say White refused to speak with them. She was booked into jail and is accused of aggravated assault and burglary.
