Original Story

Arizona police arrested a suspect after a person was killed and 12 other people were injured in a series of drive-by shootings on Thursday, according to NBC News.

Investigators responded to reports of an active shooter in West Valley, at about 12:30 p.m. Ultimately, the rampage resulted in eight separate incidents within about an hour and a half, Surprise and Peoria police said.

NBC News reports the first incident happened at about 11:10 a.m. on the border of Glendale and Peoria and continued until he was arrested at about 12:42 p.m.

Peoria police Sgt. Brandon Sheffert said at least four of the victims were shot, and others were injured either in resulting car accidents or by shrapnel. The 12 people injured are expected to survive.

"We don't know the nexus. We don't know what the motive was. We don't have an idea of what this person was thinking when he went out and did this," Sheffert said. "Obviously, we want to figure this out, because there's a lot of scared people and people this affected."

He pulled into a parking lot and did not try to fire at police officers during a traffic stop before he was taken into custody.
