KOLD News 13 live, local and late breaking-Two Illegal Immigrants Shot To Death In Pinal County
Member Center:
Pinal County authorities are looking for a man who opened fire on a group of illegal immigrants in a desert area near Red Rock Wednesday afternoon. Two were killed, and an unknown amount of others were injuried.
Investigators say a group of at least 12 immigrants were gathered at a stock pond when somebody drove up, got out of the vehicle, and opened fire. Some of the immigrants were able to run for cover. A helicopter was looking for other survivors Wednesday night, but had found nothing. Authorities are now shifting their focus towards finding the gunman.
Shell casings from a rifle and handgun were found at the scene. The immigrants have given a description of the man to authorities, but information is still coming slowly, due to the language barrier.
Deputies do not believe the shooting is related to "wildcat" shooters, who commonly use the area for target practice.
