One person, identified as a 14-year-old female, died from injuries sustained during the shooting, Phoenix police said.

Two others, both adult females, are being treated for life-threatening injuries. Six people, including a teenage male, are hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The shooting happened at a strip mall while about 100 people were in the area. Officials said people were both inside and outside of the building which appeared to have a party taking place.

During the initial investigation, detectives learned an altercation between multiple parties escalated into a shooting.

"I heard over a hundred gunshots going off. I heard people doing burnouts and doing donuts in the street for probably a good hour and a half prior to gunshots going off," said a woman who didn't want to reveal her name.

No arrests have been made in connection to the shooting.

Such terrible shootings are becoming so common that I don't even recall this being on the news.
