  1. A Sunday evening shooting at a nightclub in Old Town Scottsdale is under investigation, and a victim is in critical condition. The nightclub is near Indian School Road and Drinkwater Boulevard, and the general manager reported that multiple people wanted to hurt a customer inside. One individual was stopped at the front door, but the group sent someone else in, without a weapon, to force the customer outside. Outside of the club, multiple individuals were waiting to hurt the customer, and one fired a gun. Scottsdale Police Department reported that this was an isolated incident, with no threat to the surrounding community. (Arizona's Family)

Artesia's plan includes 546 new townhomes and condos with a resort-like Spanish colonial design.
