We have more information now from Phoenix Police.

Around 2 a.m. Friday morning, officers were called to a shooting in Phoenix where two adults were found with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.

The victims told officers they were shot at a nearby address. Officers then went to investigate to check on the welfare of those living there.

During the investigation Phoenix police located a vehicle believed to be driven by the suspect.

While surveying the vehicle, the suspect fled and headed south on I-10. Phoenix officers disengaged and DPS attempted a stop and when the driver did not stop, a pursuit was declared.

DPS managed to stop the vehicle near Cortaro and the suspect barricaded himself inside his car.

The suspect has been taken into custody.

We will update you as we learn more about road closures being lifted.

We're working to learn more about a heavy police presence on I-10 that is causing a traffic backup for commuters this morning.

At this time we know the Department of Public Safety is working with Phoenix PD on an investigation on I-10 eastbound near Cortaro.

DPS tells us all eastbound lanes and frontage roads near the investigation are shutdown. Our traffic map also shows a major backup for those headed westbound as well.

We have no word on when the road will reopen.
