About 9 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment complex in the 3800 block of East Fort Lowell Road, near North Alvernon Way, the Tucson Police Department said in a news release Wednesday.ย

Massive fire in Arizona sparked by train derailment
A freight train has derailed in Phoenix, Arizona, setting a bridge on fire and causing its partial collapse. Video images showed huge flames and thick black smoke rising into the air and train carriages on the ground near a lake. None of the trainโs crew members were hurt but there was a report of someone suffering from smoke inhalation, said Tim McMahan, a spokesman for Union Pacific Railroad.
