Three adults were injured Monday night in a shootout on a residential street in Payson, police say.
About 10:30 p.m., officers responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired near 650 West and 500 South, about a block west of Wilson Elementary School, a news release from Payson police said.
At the scene, they found two men and a woman with gunshot wounds, the release said. Investigators determined that the two men had been in an altercation, and one of them pulled out a handgun and shot the other man and the woman.
The man who’d been shot then also produced a gun and returned fire, striking the original shooter, police said.
Medical personnel took all three people to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Police said that the cause of the altercation is under investigation, and criminal charges are pending.
