Gunman Wounds Nine in Tucson Entertainment District Before Officer Shoots Him
Ten people hurt in all after shooting on East Congress Street; suspect shot while fleeing
A gunman opened fire in a crowded entertainment district in downtown Tucson, Arizona, wounding nine people before a police officer shot him as he tried to flee the scene, Fox News reported.
The shooting unfolded on East Congress Street, a strip of bars and restaurants that draws large crowds on weekend nights, according to Fox News. Ten people were hurt in total once the wounded suspect is included.
Details on the gunman's identity, his motive and the conditions of those injured were not immediately available.
The shooting adds Tucson to a growing list of American cities to have experienced gun violence in crowded nightlife districts this year, and is likely to renew scrutiny of security measures in similar entertainment corridors nationwide.
