Nine Shot in Tucson Shooting | Tucson News

Nine people were shot in downtown Tucson early Sunday morning, but all are recovering—many already released from the hospital. The suspect, who fled the scene, was shot by a police officer and hospitalized in critical condition. Investigators are urging anyone with video or info to call 88-CRIME. The Pima Regional Critical Incident Team leads the criminal probe, while Tucson PD handles its own internal review for policy violations. Witnesses say they saw a man flash a weapon outside a pizza place, yelled “he’s got a gun,” and ran—only to hear shots as they turned the corner. All victims suffered mostly extremity wounds. Police Chief Monica Prieto praised the swift response of officers, first responders, and hospital staff, noting the department’s active threat training and visible presence downtown. The incident has sparked debate: some call for stricter gun laws, others commend officers’ actions—while the police association lauds their heroism amid ongoing staffing challenges.
