At 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, Winslow Police officers responded to a report of shots fired in the Coopertown area. Upon arrival officers contacted a 19-year-old man who resides in the 1300 block of Short Street. The man’s identity could not be confirmed by press time. He told officers he had a heated exchange of words over social media with several people because they threatened a juvenile acquaintance of his at Winslow High School. He further stated that the people with whom he argued came to his residence and threatened him with a firearm, which resulted in several shots being fired between the two parties. In the investigation that followed, a 16-year-old juvenile was taken into custody in relation to the threat at WHS. The school was briefly put on lock down as a precaution. Being sought for questioning in the shooting are 19-year-old Mariano Armijo of Winslow and a 16-year-old juvenile suspect. There were no injuries in the shooting. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Quentin Hayes at the WPD at 289-2431.
