PHOENIX — Police are investigating after shots were fired during a confrontation at a shopping area near Interstate 17 and Happy Valley Road Thursday afternoon.
Officials say the confrontation began in a parking lot and a vehicle ultimately followed another to an underpass of I-17.
Police say that is where one of the vehicles shot several times into the other vehicle and left the scene.
The incident prompted the closure of northbound I-17 at Pinnacle Peak temporarily. The freeway has since reopened.
