Two people are dead, including a police officer, after a shooting in southern Arizona early Saturday morning. Five people were also injured, including another officer, during the incident. The shooting took place around 2 a.m. local time when officers were dispatched to a “disturbance at a home,” according to the Gila River Police Department’s Facebook page. The incident happened in the Gila River Indian Community, an Indigenous reservation located 35 miles southeast of Phoenix. Multiple gunshots were fired amid the disturbance, which police say involved a “large crowd.” Among those struck by gunfire were two Gila River police officers and four other individuals, police said. Officer Joshua Briese and another individual, who has not yet been publicly identified, died due to their injuries.
