Police told reporters that, based on initial information gathered at the scene, those involved may have known one another and that investigators were treating the event as an isolated incident. Officers said they had no indication at the time that the shooting was part of a broader threat to the community. Beyond that assessment, officials declined to provide further details while investigative work continued.

Officers who arrived at the Westgate area around 9 p.m. were joined by medical personnel who provided care to the injured. Law enforcement sources said the victims were taken to receive treatment, and early indications from first responders suggested none of the wounds appeared to be life-threatening. Authorities have not released names, ages, or condition updates for the people involved.

As of the latest update from police, no suspect or suspects have been apprehended. Investigators remained on the scene gathering evidence and speaking with witnesses, though officials said they were not releasing additional information at that time. Police asked anyone with information, video or photos related to the incident to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation.

The shooting drew a response from multiple Glendale units and created a heightened police presence in the area as officers worked to secure the scene and establish what led to the exchange of gunfire. While city investigators continued follow-up interviews and scene processing, police reiterated that, based on what they had learned, the event appeared to involve people who knew each other rather than a random attack on the public.

No other information was provided by police at the time officials released their initial statement. Authorities described the matter as an active and developing situation and warned that additional updates would be provided when investigators had confirmed more facts. People in the area were urged to follow direction from officers on scene and to avoid the immediate vicinity while investigators conducted their work.

Members of the public with photos, video, or eyewitness accounts were asked to share that material with investigators to assist in the inquiry. The news team also invited readers who spotted factual errors in coverage to submit corrections so reporting could be updated promptly. Officials stressed that the public would be notified of any changes in the status of victims or of any arrests as soon as the information became available.

This remains a developing story. Police will provide further details as their investigation progresses and as they are able to confirm additional information about the circumstances surrounding the shooting, the number of people injured and their exact conditions, and whether any arrests have been made.
