10 injured in U.S. Arizona mass shooting

Ten people, including the suspect, were injured in an overnight mass shooting Sunday in Tucson, the U.S. state of Arizona, authorities said.



The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. local time on Sunday in a crowded area of downtown Tucson, the second-most populous city of Arizona, said officials with the Tucson Police Department.



Police officers patrolling the area heard gunshots and immediately ran towards the sound of the gunfire, local media reported, citing police.



When the police arrived at the scene, they saw a man running away. Officers gave orders to the suspect several times before a uniformed officer shot him.



Officers treated victims at the scene before the Tucson Fire Department took them to a nearby hospital. "A suspect is in custody and multiple victims are being treated for critical injuries," the Tucson Police Department said in a post on X.



"Last night, Tucson experienced another serious and senseless act of gun violence," Tucson Mayor Regina Romero said in a statement.



The identities of the suspect and the victims were not released. The cause of the shooting and the current condition of the victims are unknown.
