Here are the top three stories in Phoenix today:
- A couple has been arrested after a man shot someone for pushing his girlfriend at a Circle K last weekend, according to Phoenix police. Court documents state that 26-year-old Kaley Van Saun got into an argument with the victim, who believed Van Saun had hit him and thus pushed her to the ground. Van Saun then called 35-year-old Robert Martinez Jr. and told him she had been pushed and was going to shoot the victim. Van Saun and Martinez tracked down the victim, and Martinez allegedly shot the victim in the head during the altercation. (Arizona's Family)
- After a two-year hiatus, a popular Easter egg hunt in south Phoenix is coming back this spring. The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Croc Center Phoenix will host its 5th Annual Easter Eggstravaganza on Apr. 16, scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. at the Kroc Center. The free, family-friendly event also features food trucks, performances, family activities, and a "vendor village" to support local businesses and community members. (KTAR.com)
- On Wednesday night, three people were injured in a head-on collision on a Phoenix street, according to first responders. Crews from Phoenix's and Tolleson's fire departments responded to the crash, which required one person to be extricated from the vehicle. Two men in their 50s were hospitalized in critical condition, while a teenager was listed in stable condition. (KTAR.com)
