2 fatally killed after fight near house party
Two men are dead after an early morning shooting in south Phoenix, police said.
Officers responded to a shooting near 36th Avenue and Broadway Road a little after midnight Friday, police said.
Officers arrived to find numerous people fleeing and were directed to a 27-year-oldman who was dead in the alley from gunshot wounds, police said.
Police later learned that another victim, a 20-year-old man, died as he was being driven to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center.
Investigators received initial reports of a party in the area and a fight nearby.
No further information was available.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Phoenix Police Department Violent Crimes Bureau at (602) 262-6141, Silent Witness at 480-948-6377 or in Spanish at 480-837-8446.
Granted these people were hanging with a party crowd, and people get stupid and violent when drunk/stoned. Hang with snakes and you'll get bitten eventually. But suppose you were the neighbors... or just driving by... and the violence spills into your lap? What would you use to prevent these or your own deaths? 911? 3-5 five minute response time; too late. Harsh words and your imposing adult presence? Yeah, give it a shot... see what happens.
