PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police say a man involved in a fight in a hospital parking lot was shot in a leg when a passenger in a passing car opened fire.
Police say the man’s wound isn’t life-threatening and that another man involved in the fight Thursday outside St Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center was arrested.
Sgt. Tommy Thompson said the incident started when a man verbally confronted two other men in the emergency room and then threatened the same two men with a knife about two hours later after the two men left the hospital.
According to Thompson, the drive-by shooting occurred while the three men were fighting.
