Phoenix police involved in two shootings in the Valley
Phoenix police officers were involved in two shootings in the Valley Wednesday.
The first occurred in Gilbert just after midnight. Police had received a report regarding a man who was forcing a woman into a truck near 51st Avenue and Interstate 10. The truck was located in Gilbert and officers attempted to grapple the vehicle. The shooting happened shortly after. A man died from his injuries and a woman remains hospitalized.
Later in the evening, police were "proactive policing" in the area of 27th and Northern avenues and attempted to make contact with a vehicle in the area. The vehicle careened in the direction of an officer. That was when the shooting happened. The vehicle drove away from the scene and crashed near 59th and Northern avenues. Two men were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Teen renews push for state brass knuckle legislation after East Valley attack
A teen and his mother are renewing their push for statewide brass knuckle legislation after he was attacked in a Gilbert parking lot in December 2022.
Connor and Stephanie Jarnagan went to state lawmakers with the goal of banning brass knuckles in 2024, but were unsuccessful. They're hoping that by revising the bill to only ban brass knuckles for minors in the state, the bill will have a better chance of passing.
The pair have also spoken out at Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert council meetings. Chandler and Gilbert have since approved ordinances that ban the sale and possession of brass knuckles to minors. Tempe banned the sale of brass knuckles to minors and possession in public regardless of age.
