Police arrest 2 suspects in connection with robbery and shooting at midtown residence
A victim was taken to the hospital after being wounded in a robbery and shooting in midtown Anchorage early Thursday morning.
At about 1:30 a.m., APD responded to a report of a shooting at the 900 block of E. 45th Court. When officers arrived, they found a 27-year-old woman inside the apartment with a gunshot wound to the upper torso. She was transported to a local hospital and is in stable condition, police say.
The woman told APD that she knew the three assailants. The male and two females arrived at the apartment that night and an altercation ensued, police say. The three suspects then fled the scene in a white pickup truck.
