Carrs Safeway Employee Suffers Injuries in West Northern Lights Shots Fired Incident

Anchorage police are investigating an early Saturday morning incident at the Carrs Aurora Village  on West Northern Lights where shots were fired, APD reported.

APD responded to the disturbance at 6:48 am on Saturday and conducted an investigation of the incident as one Carrs Safeway employee, suffering from noon-life-threatening injuries, was transported to the hospital.

After conducting interviews of witnesses at the scene, police ascertained that a group of “unruly teenagers” entered the store and began fighting.
