  2. An 18-year-old was fatally shot by his brother at 44th Street and McDowell Road on Saturday around 3:45 p.m. After several interviews with witnesses, Phoenix police have reported that the shooting was a result of an argument that led to them both pulling out firearms. The investigation is ongoing; it has not yet been reported whether the suspect was injured or if charges have been filed against him. (ABC15 Arizona)

  3. The 100 Club of Arizona will offer $1,500 to each of the nine officers that were hurt during a shooting early Friday morning. The nonprofit encourages the officers to use the money as relief in case a spouse needs to take time off from work to care for the officer. Mental health counseling is also available; professionals will work to assist the officers in a full recovery before returning to work. (AZFamily.com)
