TUCSON, Arizona — Filtran nombre del presunto autor del tiroteo masivo Downtown Tucson ocurrido durante la madrugada del domingo.
Agencias locales han empezado a difundir la identidad como David Leroy French, aunque no hay una declaración oficial al respecto.
Mientras las autoridades mantienen abiertas las pesquisas, documentos judiciales y registros públicos identifican a David Leroy French como el presunto responsable de los disparos.
Tiroteo masivo en Downtown Tucson dejó varios heridos
El ataque ocurrió alrededor de las 2:00 de la madrugada en la cuadra 100 de East Congress Street, en la intersección con North 6th Avenue.
Esta es una zona de mucha actividad nocturna ubicada en el centro de Tucson.
De acuerdo con el reporte oficial del Tucson Police Department (TPD), oficiales asignados al distrito del centro escucharon múltiples detonaciones mientras patrullaban el área.
Los agentes respondieron inmediatamente y localizaron a un hombre que huía de la escena.
Según la versión oficial, los oficiales emitieron múltiples órdenes verbales para que se detuviera.
Al no obedecerlas, un oficial disparó su arma de cargo e hirió al sospechoso.
Los policías aseguraron al hombre y comenzaron a brindarle atención médica de emergencia.
Posteriormente, paramédicos del Tucson Fire Department lo trasladaron a un hospital local, donde permanecía en estado crítico.
