PHOENIX — Two people were taken into custody after allegedly firing shots at federal agents during a narcotics investigation near 67th Avenue and Van Buren Street in Phoenix.
According to a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency spokesperson on Wednesday, agents were conducting a narcotics investigation on Tuesday when one of two suspects opened fire on the agents.
Two vehicles at the scene appeared to have multiple bullet holes and broken glass.
No one was injured during the incident, and drugs and a weapon were recovered from the scene, officials say.
Both suspects were taken into custody.
ABC15 spoke with witnesses at the scene outside of a Family Dollar store who said, "We were going to the store, and at the same [time], we ran into two police officers, undercover, shooting towards that red maroon truck. So we had to duck right where we were at, because they were back and forth shooting, and whoever was shooting back at them."
