Phoenix shooting leaves 2 people hurt; suspect arrested after I-10 standoff: police

A suspect has been taken into custody after a double shooting early Friday morning in Phoenix left two people hurt.

Phoenix Police say officers responded to reports of a shooting at around 1:40 a.m. on Nov. 8 near 43rd Avenue and McDowell Road.

"When officers arrived, they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds," a portion of Phoenix Police's statement reads. "The two victims were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries."

Police say the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Luis Lopez Gutierrez, left before officers arrived at the scene, but officers found the suspect's car shortly after the investigation began.

"Lopez took off from officers, at which time he was tracked southbound on I-10. Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers initiated a traffic stop and Lopez refused to stop," read a portion of Phoenix Police's statement.

The victims drove away from the shooting scene and were found by officers near 29th Avenue and McDowell Road.

Eventually, police say the suspect was taken into custody near Marana. The suspect was initially taken to the hospital for injuries he suffered during the incident, but was later released and taken back to Phoenix.

Gutierrez was booked into jail and is accused of multiple charges, including aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, trespassing and misconduct involving weapons.

I-10 was shut down in both directions, but it has since been reopened.

The shooting suspect fled to Tucson where he was taken into custody following a standoff on I-10.
