At 5:45 APD officers were dispatched to a fight in the 1900 block of South Lincoln. Witnesses at the maverick club saw a fight across the street and heard shots fired. Witnesses described a rifle similar to an AK-47 being involved in the fight. Officers were told that a suspect in a 2dr silver Ford truck was leaving. Officers saw the silver truck leaving the scene at a high rate of speed. The truck spun out in the 2300 block of South Lincoln. The driver ran on foot and was caught. Officers did recover a hand gun by the truck and several rifle magazines in the truck. There was confusion about the number of suspects involved due to conflicting accounts of what happened from the people involved. Witnesses told officers that a suspect had run into a camper in the 1900 block of S Buchanan. SWAT officers called this suspect out of the camper by PA system. SWAT officers have checked two residences and trailers in the area of the fight and no other people were found. All three believed to be involved are being interviewed to determine their role in the incident. No rifle was recovered at this time, but the investigation is ongoing. The name of anyone arrested will be released when they are booked into jail. We have not located any victims with a gunshot wound.
