David Leroy French, 21, was arrested in connection with a mass shooting in downtown Tucson that left nine people critically injured, court records say.
At about 2 a.m. Sunday, after a verbal argument, French allegedly opened fire into a crowd near East Congress and North Sixth Avenue, striking nine people, an interim complaint says.
Nearby Tucson police officers heard the shots and saw a man running away from the scene, police said in a news release.
After giving the man verbal commands, an officer opened fire, striking him, the release said.
Ten people, including French, were taken to the hospital with gunshot injuries, the complaint says. French has since been booked into the Pima County Jail. No bond had been set Monday morning.
Through reviewing surveillance footage, investigators confirmed French was the shooter, the complaint says.
French was arrested on suspicion of nine counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, nine counts of aggravated assault, and discharging a firearm at a structure, the complaint says.
