Shots fired after man makes bomb threat at Queen Creek Walmart
QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. - An investigation is underway following a deputy-involved shooting on Thursday night after a man allegedly made a bomb threat at a
According to
MCSO, deputies received statements at about 7:30 p.m. that a man was in possession of an explosive device at the Walmart located near Ocotillo and Rittenhouse Roads.
After arriving at the scene, deputies evacuated the store and came into contact with the suspect. While attempting to stabilize the area and negotiate with the subject he attempted to flee and shots were fired by a deputy to prevent any additional threat to the community, striking the suspect, MCSO said in a statement on May 14.
The March 18, 2018, crash on the northbound Mill Avenue bridge forced Uber out of Arizona, caused other self-driving companies to re-examine their safety procedures, and generally reduced public faith in autonomous vehicle technology. An Arizona prosecutor decided in March 2019 that Uber itself hadn t committed a crime, but some observers believed the company got off easy and that the backup driver is being made a scapegoat.
Vasquez s trial date is now set for August 10, moved back from May 11, and before that, from February 11. Given the case s complexity, it ll likely get pushed back again. Such delays are routine in criminal cases that aren t cut and dried. But the recent motions requesting more time in the case by Vasquez s private lawyers, Marci Kratter and Albert Morrison, give a glimpse of the probable defense.
