A mass shooting has been reported in Mesa, Arizona, on Wednesday, according to local reports. At least six people were shot and one was killed. Later, local media, including ABC-15 and NBC, said Ryan Elliot Giroux was the suspect in the shootings.

Giroux was taken into custody after officers spotted him on an apartment balcony and deployed a stun gun. Numerous officers later led a handcuffed man to a truck parked outside an apartment complex. Police did not immediately release his identity.

The incident started with an argument inside a room at a motel and spilled outside, leaving three people wounded, Mesa Detective Esteban Flores said. The suspect then shot a person at a nearby restaurant and carjacked a gray Honda Accord. Two more people were wounded at separate apartment complexes, including one during a home invasion.
