Two men were arrested Saturday morning, following a fight that led to a drive-by shooting on the southwest side of town, authorities said.

Pima County Sheriff's deputies received a 911 call shortly after 5 a.m., reporting that two men had been fighting in the 7000 block of South Westover Avenue when several gunshots were heard and a vehicle fled the scene, said Deputy Ryan Inglett, a department spokesman.

When deputies were responding to the scene, in the area of South Mission and West Valencia Road, they ran across the vehicle that was described leaving the shooting, and performed a traffic stop, immediately noticing evidence of the shooting, Inglett said.

A female driver was taken to the hospital with "injuries sustained during the shooting," Inglett said. It's unclear if she was shot.

The two men inside of the car, 26-year-old Stephen Romero-Valencia and 23-year-old Andrew Valencia, were arrested for drive-by shooting, discharging a firearm at a residence and aggravated assault- all felonies, Inglett said.

The investigation is ongoing, and more information will be released as it becomes available.
