Active investigation underway involving DEA in west Phoenix

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — An active investigation involving Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and other law enforcement is ongoing in west Phoenix late Tuesday morning.

While details remain limited at this time, the incident was reported at a parking lot near 67th Avenue and Van Buren Street around 10 a.m.

A DEA spokesperson has not provided any details, calling it a “fluid situation.”

Arizona’s Family witnessed several masked DEA agents surrounding a blue Jeep Gladiator and a portion of the parking lot taped off as authorities scoured the area. Video from the scene showed damage to the driver’s side of the Jeep’s windshield, which appeared to be at least nine bullet holes.

The driver’s side windows on a Ram pickup in front of the Gladiator were also broken. In addition, at least one window on a nearby Dollar General store was shattered.

Arizona’s Family crews also witnessed law enforcement detaining two men near the scene, but it’s unclear what their involvement is.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety will be handling the overall investigation.
