Shooting in yuma az –
Late Saturday night, a shooting incident took place in Yuma, Arizona resulting in seven people being taken to the hospital, according to the local police department.
The incident was reported just before 11 p.m. local time when the Yuma Police Department received a call regarding an aggravated assault on South J Edward Drive.
Upon arrival, the police found multiple injured individuals in a gathering. Although the police did not have a suspect in custody, Lt. Craig Johnson confirmed that there was no ongoing danger to the community.
The mother of one of the victims, a 15-year old male, shared the following information:
“My son attended a party in the foothills last night. A fight broke out, and shots were fired. My son was caught in the crossfire and was shot in the leg. The bullet exited near the back of his knee. A bullet also grazed his arm. X-rays show that there is probably no serious damage, but they are keeping him overnight or at this point, day, for observation. My kid attended a party like 15 year olds do. Is this what is happening in Yuma now? I am sickened, saddened and pissed off. We need to do better. We don’t know anything about what motivated this, we don’t know anyone else who was involved. My son was not targeted…just in the wrong place at the wrong time. “
This incident is now known as the Yuma shooting.
