Mesa Police received calls for shots fired at 3445 E University Drive just after 2330. Some guy shot his girlfriend then her boyfriend, and then some other woman in the driveway.
When police arrived the man had a gun in his mouth and was threatening to kill himself. Police managed to get the girlfriend out of the line of fire and moved her to the FD staging area in front of the neighboring complex. Where FD pronounced her dead at about 2350. The second female was also rescued and was rushed to Scottsdale Osborne, were her condition is unknown. The male victim was reportedly inside the residence with the suspect and police were not able to get to him or see him.
At about 0100 hours, the suspect began to pray and then shortly after shot himself in the driveway. SWAT then cleared the house and requested FD to move in. I was not clear what the status of the male victim or the male suspect was. FD did not transport any one else and went back into service.
PD had trouble communicating with SWAT. SWAT went to clear comms. Their Lapel mikes or throat mic’s had very bad audio. SWAT sounded like they were underwater, At one point the LT on scene request that the speak slowly because no one could understand them. It was kind of cool to be able to listen to SWAT. I was able to follow the whole incident play by play. They described every move the suspect made, including the way he stood, and what he was saying. Even to the final moments when the suspect began to pray, when I heard that I knew that this guy was about to kill him self, and then the SWAT officer Said, “Suspect Down, Suspect Down, He’s still moving, watch the gun”. It was some interesting listening. I now wish I could listen to SWAT more often. Damm Encryption.....
