ANCHORAGE – An argument between two men in Chugiak Monday afternoon sent one man to the hospital.
At 4 p.m., police received a report that shots had been fired near the entrance of a residence on the 21000 block of the Old Glenn Highway.
Police found that during an argument between the two men, one of the males brandished a firearm. A “scuffle ensued over the firearm,” according to a statement from police spokeswoman Jennifer Castro.
While the fight was happening, a female suspect whacked one of the males over the head with a shovel, the statement said. Shots were fired from the weapon, and the man who was hit with the shovel was also grazed by a bullet. He was sent to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police took two suspects into custody, although no arrests or charges have been made yet. The incident is under investigation, police said.
