Loop 101 in Scottsdale reopens after shooting, DPS says

The Loop 101 northbound in Scottsdale has reopened after two people were shot Sunday night, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.

Loop 101 northbound between Cactus Road and Raintree Drive was closed on April 16 as authorities investigated what happened, ADOT said just before 8 p.m.

"We had a report of an SUV on the roadside with what we believe to be a person in distress," said Capt. Allen Haywood. "Witnesses arrived on scene, and a male subject appeared to have a gunshot wound – CPR was then conducted by witnesses on scene until law enforcement and fire arrived. Scottsdale Fire Department transported a male and a female that were at the scene to a local hospital."

DPS didn't release many more details on the couple but said they were married. Their identities were not released.

There are no outstanding suspects and there is no threat to the public.
