Police have reportedly ordered residents in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa, Arizona to stay indoors after a suspect went on a shooting spree at several locations, killing one and wounding five.

Shortly before 2 p.m., Mesa Police announced that they had taken the suspect into custody. Police carried out an extensive search for the suspect and reportedly locked down several neighborhoods in the area while they hunted for the suspect.
