The Tucson Police Department told the Washington Examiner that the shooting took place in a rural area, but deferred further information to Customs and Border Protection.

A Tucson police scanner reported that one person suffered three gunshot wounds.

The Washington Examiner reached out to CBP for comment.

The Santa Rita Fire District told the Associated Press that it responded to the shooting, and the injured person was arrested.
