Two men have been detained
... a parker ranger heard gunshots come from Piestewa Peak Park and saw two men.
... the vehicle ... was stolen.
... the driver didn’t stop and ran a red light.
... It’s unclear what charges the suspects will face.
I'm no David Baker, but if I was a journalist, I'd start by asking the popo if maybe the suspects could face charges on the three obvious violations I just wrote about in my news story.

I had to look at the date stamp of this post. I'm pretty sure this has happened almost every year now far awhile.

Such a shame, I heard the cactus had both arms up when they shot him too. :(

@FOTG Do you think those guys stooped even lower and shot him in the back?
