At least three people were shot and wounded when gunfire erupted at a business complex in Phoenix on Wednesday, and authorities were combing the area for the suspected gunman, police said on Wednesday.
Phoenix Police spokesman James Holmes said the people who were shot were taken from the scene to a local hospital, and there was no immediate word on their condition.
While police continue to look for the suspect, law enforcement officials have confirmed that there were no deaths as a result of today’s shooting. The timing of today’s attack will likely be dissected at great length in the days ahead, with the shooting occurring at roughly the same time that former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords testified before the Senate on gun violence.
Update: There are now 5 confirmed injuries from the attack, three of which were life-threatening for the victims, though none of the victims have died at this time.
How the Toronto Police told people they made an arrest in Saturday’s Eaton Centre mass shooting: The department previously suggested that the shooting was gang-related, and that the person killed in the shooting, Ahmed Hassan, may have been specifically targeted by the suspect.

Back when the mass murder happened in Norway earlier this summer, the only thing I could find to say was how Lacoste was probably freaking out because the guy was wearing a Lacoste sweater in every picture that came out.
It turns out I was onto something:
“French clothing firm Lacoste contacted Norwegian police to request that confessed killer Anders Behring Breivik stop wearing its products, the Dagbladet newspaper reported.”
Hah!
Because, clearly, the first thing that should be on the mind of a mass-shooter is upholding the reputation of a clothing company. This ain’t no Jersey Shore.
