Teens injured in house party shooting in Arizona
LITCHFIELD PARK, Ariz. (NBC, KYMA) - A house party ends in a shooting, sending a number of teens to the hospital, with neighbors saying the house party got out of control.
Deputies arrived to a home located near Dysart Road and Maryland Avenue at around 1 a.m. Saturday after receiving a call of multiple shots fired.
All that remains are bullet holes left in homes, cars and throughout the neighborhood, and no suspects have been arrested.
A neighbor shared Ring camera footage with NBC affiliate KPNX, with the neighbor saying the shooting stemmed because of a party at the house.
Leigh Ann Treguboff, a nearby resident, says she first noticed something wrong when she saw kids hopping over her fence and into her backyard, but once she realized there wasn't any issues in her own backyard, she and her husband checked their front yard.
"There's kids kind of running everywhere, cars everywhere. My husband goes up the road here, just a little bit. There's a kid on the sidewalk," Treguboff shared.
Treguboff says the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) arrived shortly after and started assisting what seemed to be injured teenagers.
"My husband gives his wound pack to an officer. They rolled the kid over. He's got a bullet in his back and his leg and his face is bleeding, just kind of helping the kids," Treguboff detailed.
Just further down the road, neighbor Aidan Farah says screaming from the high school aged kids startled him and his family as it's something, they say, they're not used to hearing in the area.
"We immediately go out and we just see bullets everywhere. There's like casings all the way down the road. And they start marking them and everything," Farah remarked.
According to MCSO, there were multiple victims of gunfire, and all are said to be teens, with four of them being taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and with no suspects identified at this time, neighbors say they're shaken up.
"It's very scary. Because, I mean, if you watch the video, like the kids just jumping in the air shooting the gun, and a kid across you can see the kid across the street firing. I mean, we have bullet holes way high up in the air, like, just no regard for anybody in the street. Like, I mean, there was kids everywhere," Treguboff expressed.
MCSO says the investigation is ongoing.
