A mass shooting in Phoenix at the Arizona Days Inn hotel parking lot has left two people dead and five people wounded, two officers are among the wounded. The mass shooting happened on August 28.
The Phoenix Police Department released the video of the mass shooting, which is graphic.
In the CCTV footage released by the Phoenix Police Department, suspect Isaiah Steven Williams, 24, can be seen leaving his hotel room wearing a helmet, a bulletproof vest, knee pads and a gas mask.
The video shows Williams carrying as rifle and a Molotov cocktail before he starts shooting at parked cars.
At one point during the active shooting, a white car drives into the parking lot, and the suspect then fired at the car. We now know that two of the people in the vehicle were killed at once.
They have been identified as Karla Garzona, 44, and Misael Arevalo, 36. Three other occupants manage to escape and run away towards a nearby gas station.
The armed suspect continues his shooting spree.
The armed suspect then continues to shoot at empty cars before walking towards a Waffle House – a restaurant chain – and throwing a Molotov cocktail.
When the cocktail doesn’t ignite or shatter the window, Williams enters the Days Inn front office, but doesn’t shoot.
A few minutes go by, during which the alleged shooter fires his gun randomly across Deer Valley Road.
It has been reported that numerous people were shot and wounded. He continues to fire wildly and violently at police as they arrive on the scene.
One officer was injured and another suffered shrapnel wounds to body including his face, local reports said. The injured officer was taken to hospital.
At the time of the incident, the police officers had not activated their body cam.
By the time the shooting broke off, police officers confirmed they the gunman was dead, having shot himself.
Investigators found some 200 spent rounds, tactical equipment, and five empty magazines. No motive has been decided.
