MCSO urged to act on illegal ATV racing, shootings in river bottom | FOX 10 Phoenix

Описание: Residents are fed up with what they describe as chaos at the Hassayampa River bottom, reporting that illegal ATV racing, wild parties, rampant alcohol use & shootings have plagued the area near Old US 80 & Salome Highway.

Generations of farmers and ranchers have come through these lands, surrounding the Hassayampa River bottom. This is an unincorporated community in Maricopa County, a rural area 45 minutes outside downtown Phoenix.

"We were sitting right here the other day in my front yard and watching the bullets land across the street in the field," said Brandon Shelton, a cattle rancher who lives about 400 yards from the river bottom, where he says heavy gunfire is unleashed. "When we hear these guns, they’re high-powered fully automatic weapons."
