5 Teens Shot, 1 Critically Injured At Phoenix Halloween Party

PHOENIX, AZ — Five teens were shot Friday morning around 1 a.m. outside a vacant house where they were attending a Halloween party near 2400 S. 86th Lane in Phoenix. One was critically injured.

Phoenix police reported that the teens were in the front yard when an older model gray or dark-colored Dodge Charger drove into the cul-de-sac and the car’s passenger shot into the crowd of partygoers, then took off speeding down 86th Lane headed south.

All five who were hit by gunfire were taken to multiple hospitals. A 16-year-old boy sustained a “serious life-threatening injury,” while the four others – an 18-year-old woman, a 19-year-old woman, an 18-year-old man and another 16-year-old boy – all sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Police have no description of the suspect, and the investigation continues.
