MARANA, AZ — Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating a double shooting in Phoenix that led to a pursuit and barricade situation south of the Valley early Friday morning.

Phoenix police were first called to investigate a shooting after two victims stopped their car for help near 27th Avenue and McDowell Road before 2 a.m. A man and woman had reportedly attempted to drive themselves to a hospital after being shot at another location.

The shooting is believed to have happened at a home near 43rd Avenue and McDowell Road.

Phoenix police officials say the victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

A suspect vehicle was later seen heading southbound on I-10, and when troopers tried to make a traffic stop, the driver failed to comply and continued driving.

DPS initiated a pursuit of the vehicle and the suspect later stopped near Cortaro Road in Marana, outside Tucson. The suspect reportedly barricaded himself for an "extended period of time."

Both directions of I-10 were shut down, according to transportation officials, with the Marana Police Department asking people to avoid the area.

The suspect, identified by Phoenix police as 28-year-old Luis Lopez Gutierrez, has since been taken into custody, Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said around 7:30 a.m.

He was booked on multiple felony charges.

The investigation is ongoing.
