PHOENIX, AZ -- A 43-year-old man was rushed to a local hospital after four people forcibly entered his apartment and shot him, according to Phoenix police.

Phoenix Police Spokesperson James Holmes said around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday three Hispanic males and one Hispanic female approached an apartment near Camelback Road and Interstate 17.

According to Holmes, the four suspects demanded entry into the Phoenix apartment but were refused, so the group forced entry into the home.

Holmes said an argument ensued between the four suspects, the victim and a second female who was inside the home.

One of the suspects allegedly began firing at both the residents and the 43-year-old male was struck. The suspects then fled the area.
