Less than five minutes after police responded to the scene, an officer reported shots fired.

“The victims in this case feared for their life while simply going about their way on the campus of ASU,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in the release.

“Using a gun to intimidate or harm anyone in this community is a serious charge and those who are accused of doing so will be held accountable.”
