School Shooting Leaves Three Wounded

Three people were shot Thursday afternoon at South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, and two of them were critically injured, authorities said.

Phoenix police spokesman Ruben Gonzales said a suspect was arrested at a house about three to four miles from South Mountain Community College. Gonzales didn't identify the man, but called him a possible suspect.

A witness said the shooter had been fighting with another man in a computer building. The gunman seemed to be directing his shots and not firing randomly, said student Yessenia Lara, 18. "I saw someone get punched and then I heard three shots after that. Everybody basically ducked, and the shooter got away," Lara said, adding that the victims were yelling in pain.

A 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were in critical condition, while a 17-year-old boy was in stable condition, said Mark Faulkner, a division chief for the Phoenix Fire Department. No other information on their injuries was available. Faulkner said the three were taken by firefighters to a county hospital.
