Tucson Mass Shooting: Police Identify Suspect
Police said nine civilians were wounded before officers shot the suspect, and the Gun Violence Archive counted 257 U.S. mass shootings this year.
- On Sunday, a mass shooting in downtown Tucson left 10 people wounded, including the suspect, after gunfire erupted in the 100 block of East Congress Street around 2 a.m.
- Tucson Police confirmed the shooting stemmed from a confrontation between two groups who knew each other, with witness Anais Camacho describing it as "one guy being an aggressor and the other two kind of pulling him back."
- Authorities identified the suspect as 21-year-old David Leroy French, who faces 19 charges including nine counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Records show his prior 2024 felony conviction made it illegal for him to possess firearms.
- Officers rendered first aid to French, who was hospitalized with life-threatening wounds and remains under police guard. Tucson Police stated he will be transferred to the Pima County Adult Detention Complex upon his release.
- The Gun Violence Archive identifies this as the 257th U.S. mass shooting this year, with visitors to Tucson expressing dismay at the frequency of such incidents in the country.
