Two people were shot and found inside a car near Pima and Maricopa roads in Buckeye on Monday night.
Deputies responded to a call about shots fired around 9:30 p.m. and found a man and a woman with apparent gunshot wounds in a car, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Both were taken to a hospital, one with serious injuries and the other one with life-threatening injuries.

In the past two weeks, there have been at least two incidents where people have been found dead or injured in cars across the Valley.

The Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez, said deputies believed it was an isolated incident.
