YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) says a man has been arrested in connection to a shooting at the Yuma Civic Center earlier this week.

According to a press release, the shooting happened Monday at around 9:40 p.m., where two people were inside a vehicle "when they were fired upon, causing damage to the vehicle," but they were not injured.

YPD says detectives found and arrested a 22-year-old man Tuesday before 10:30 a.m.

The man was then booked into the Yuma County Detention Center for attempted first-degree murder and other related offense, and he's being held on a bond of $250,000.
