当局称，凤凰城附近发生了一起明显的驾车枪击事件，造成一人死亡，12人受伤。
据领导调查的皮奥里亚警察局发言人布兰登·谢弗特中士说，警方正在调查周四上午在整个西谷发生的至少八起不同的枪击事件，这些事件发生在90分钟的时间内。
“这是一项极其复杂的调查，”谢弗特在新闻发布会上说，并指出涉及多个机构，包括几个警察部门和联邦调查局。他说，拍摄地点的数量“显然会增加”。
酒精、烟草、火器和爆炸物管理局告诉美国广播公司新闻，他们正在努力匹配各种枪击场景中的弹道弹壳，并追踪找到的枪，以确定枪手在哪里购买或获得的枪。它还将搜查嫌疑人的家，寻找任何其他武器。
谢弗特说，当地时间上午11:10左右，皮奥里亚警方在103街和北大街附近接到“一辆车被另一辆车击中”的电话。
警方表示，同一辆可疑车辆——一辆白色SUV——被认为参与了至少八起枪击事件。谢弗特说，到目前为止，在13名受害者中，有4人被枪杀，其中一人死亡。他说，其他伤害可能是由车祸或碎玻璃造成的，但目前还没有具体细节。
谢弗特说，死者是在雷鸟路101环路高速公路上的一辆车里被发现的，身上有枪伤。其他伤害预计不会危及生命。

据黑尔说，在嫌疑人的车里发现了一件武器，但没有关于枪支类型的更多细节。
嫌疑人的更多细节没有透露。谢弗特说，警方仍在调查动机，尽管他们不认为这与公路暴怒有关。
“我们通常不会在这种情况下看到公路暴怒，”他说。
谢弗特说，目前还没有关于指控的信息，尽管“可能会有一连串的指控”。
警方认为枪击事件中没有其他嫌疑人，并要求任何有消息的人拨打623-773-8311。

1 dead, 12 people injured stemming from drive-by shooting spree in Arizona: Police
One person is dead and a dozen people injured after an apparent drive-by shooting spree near Phoenix, authorities said.
Police are investigating at least eight different shooting incidents that occurred over the course of a 90-minute period Thursday morning throughout the West Valley, according to Sgt. Brandon Sheffert, a spokesperson for the Peoria Police Department, which is leading the investigation.
"This is an extremely complex investigation," Sheffert said during a press briefing, noting that multiple agencies are involved, including several police departments and the FBI. The number of shooting sites "could obviously grow," he said.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told ABC News it is working to match ballistic shell casings from the various shooting scenes and tracing the recovered gun to figure out where the shooter bought or obtained the gun. It will also search the suspect's home for any other weapons.
At around 11:10 a.m. local time, Peoria police received a call of "a vehicle that had been shot by another vehicle" near 103rd and Northern avenues, Sheffert said.
The same suspect vehicle -- a white SUV -- is believed to be involved in at least eight total shooting incidents, police said. Out of 13 victims accounted for so far, four were shot, one of whom died, Sheffert said. The other injuries may have been from car crashes or broken glass, but no specifics are available at this time, he said.
The deceased victim was found with a gunshot wound in a car on the Loop 101 freeway at Thunderbird Road, Sheffert said. The other injuries are expected to be non-life-threatening.
Three Banner Health hospitals confirmed to ABC News that they received nine patients from what they referred to as Thursday's "drive-by shooting incident." Banner Health West Valley facilities were on a since-lifted lockdown.
The Surprise Police Department tracked down the suspect's car after it was spotted by the Surprise Fire Department, said Sunrise Sgt. Tommy Hale. Police took the male suspect into custody without incident after he pulled over, Hale said.
"Surprise PD did a great job locating this vehicle and getting this guy into custody to stop any more damage that he could do to the community," Sheffert said.
A weapon was recovered in the suspect's car, according to Hale, though no additional details were available on the type of gun.
No further details on the suspect were shared. Police are still investigating a motive, Sheffert said, though they don't believe it was related to road rage.
"We don't normally see road rage where this much happens," he said.
No information was available yet on charges, though there will "probably be a litany of charges," Sheffert said.
Police do not believe there are any additional suspects in the shootings and are asking anyone with information to call 623-773-8311.
"We want more information on this so we can figure out exactly what happened," Sheffert said.
