BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. — One person is dead and two others have been hospitalized following a shooting Thursday evening in the 1800 block of Coral Isle in Bullhead City.
The first 911 call reporting the Coral Isle shooting came in at approximately 6:56 p.m. Multiple additional calls were received shortly afterward reporting gunfire in the area.
Two people were transported from the scene to a local hospital in unknown condition. Both patients are being flown to Las Vegas for further medical treatment.
A third person was pronounced deceased.
According to a witness who spoke with Code3News, multiple flashes from gunfire could be seen from his window during the shooting. The witness estimated that as many as 15 shots may have been exchanged, describing the incident as sounding and appearing like an "old west shootout" in the street.
The witness's estimate of the number of shots has not been independently confirmed by Code3News or law enforcement.
Preliminary information indicates three suspects fled the area following the shooting. Multiple callers provided descriptions of the individuals to 911 dispatchers. Additional information regarding the suspects has not yet been officially released.
The 1800 block of Coral Isle remains shut down, and traffic cannot get through the area. This is expected to remain an active scene for an extended period while law enforcement investigates.
Anyone in the area should avoid the scene and allow emergency personnel and investigators room to work.
This remains a developing story. Additional information regarding the victims, suspects and circumstances surrounding the shooting has not yet been released.
