Here are the top three stories today in Phoenix:

1. On Sunday morning, two seemingly unrelated fatal shootings occurred within an approximately 10-minute span in Phoenix. According to Phoenix police, Michael Miles, 34, was pronounced dead at the scene; Riann Curry, 18, was taken to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead. Police have yet to release the description of any suspect. Anyone with information about either shooting is urged to contact the Phoenix Police Department or Silent Witness. (Phoenix Patch)
2. According to the Phoenix Fire Department, four people have been displaced after a home fire developed near 16th Street and Bethany Home Road on Sunday night.

The fire department says investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire. (The Arizona Republic)
3. Phoenix firefighters at Station 13 saved a brood of ducks that fell in a storm drain. The distressed ducks were rescued after some people passing by noticed the incident and notified the firefighters. (12news.com KPNX)
