TOLLESON, AZ — Two people were hurt in a shooting near 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road in Tolleson Friday morning.

According to Phoenix police, authorities were called to a shooting in the area just before 11 a.m. and located a man with a gunshot wound.

The suspect, another man, was injured by what police believe to be a self-inflicted gunshot. He then drove himself to 99th Avenue and Van Buren Street where he was located by police.

Both men were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
