1 dead and 7 wounded related to a function in the hotel involving a group, age 18-22. Still hard to find information about what the event was. Maybe 3rdgen has the scoop?
One man was killed and seven other people were wounded in a shooting inside a downtown Phoenix hotel after an argument early Sunday, police said.
Officers responded to a call about a shooting at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix hotel around 12:30 a.m.
Police said a group of people between the ages of 18 and 22 who all were attending a function inside the hotel had an argument that escalated into shots being fired.
“We do believe this is an isolated incident and not a random act,†police spokeswoman Sgt. Maggie Cox said, adding that detectives were still interviewing witnesses.
“There was definitely more than one shooter,†she said. “After the argument, different people within that group began shooting at each other.â€
It was unclear what kind of event was being held at the upscale hotel located near the cityâ€s convention center and close to the Arizona Diamondbacks†ballpark and Phoenix Suns†basketball arena.
A call to the hotel Sunday seeking comment on the shooting and the event being held wasnâ€t immediately returned.
Cox said arriving officers evacuated the hotel staff from the building before doing a search to make sure there wasnâ€t an active shooter.
They located a man who was declared dead at the scene and then helped the wounded — six men and one woman — get treatment before they were taken to hospitals.
They had “various injuries … gunshot wound injuries†not believed to be life threatening, Cox said.
The names of the dead man and the seven wounded werenâ€t immediately released.
Police were processing evidence and reviewing surveillance video to determine the specific details to the shooting, according to Cox.
