PHOENIX -- Technology led Phoenix police to an apartment complex
Wednesday night where a woman was seriously injured.
The “shot spotter” detects shots fired in Glendale and notifies officers
of the incident.
The device was activated at about midnight, sending officers to an
apartment complex near 67th Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
When they arrived, residents directed the officers to an apartment that
had a blood trail leading to the door.
Officers apparently knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so out
of concern for the victim, they broke down the door.
Once inside, officers found a 25-year-old woman who thought someone had
hit her with a chair. She did not believe she had been shot, but
officers said the “shot spotter” is very accurate.
Officers searched the area and said they found gun shells.
The woman was rushed to the hospital and is reportedly in serious
condition.
Authorities are waiting for a doctor to determine whether the woman was
shot.
Police said they have no suspects, but are investigating the incident.
