2 people shot while sleeping at Phoenix park

SHOULD BE ALL CLEAR. >> A NEWS ALERT FOR YOU. A POLICE INVESTIGATION TAKING PLACE JUST WEST OF DOWNTOWN PHENIX. YEAH, WE'RE TALKING MANY MILES TO THE WEST HERE OUT THERE AT ABOUT 27TH AVENUE. >> AND VAN BUREN, DESIREE IS ON THE STORY AND JOINS US LIVE WITH THE LATEST RIGHT NOW. DES THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE. >> AND THIS IS WILLOW PARK, SITUATED IN THIS WEST PHENIX NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS WHERE THAT SHOOTING OCCURRED. SO WE SPOKE WITH PHENIX POLICE AND THEY TELL US AT ABOUT 230 THIS MORNING, THEY GOT A CALL TO RESPOND TO A SHOOTING. AND WHEN THEY GOT HERE, THEY LEARNED THAT A MAN AND WOMAN WERE SLEEPING ON THE PICNIC TABLE THAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW. AND YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS THERE . SO THEY KIND OF MADE THIS PARK THEIR HOME, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY . SO THEY WERE SHOT AS A VEHICLE, DROVE BY THE PARK AND JUST STARTED RINGING OUT SHOTS. SO A MAN HERE SLEEPING WAS SHOT IN HIS TORSO. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND IS UNDERGOING A SURGERY. AND THE WOMAN WAS SHOT IN HER ARM. SHE IS EXPECTED TO BE OKAY. SO POLICE ARE STILL HERE ON SCENE. THEY HAVE A LARGE AREA STILL ROPED OFF AS THEY CONTINUE THEIR INVESTIGATION. THEY ALSO TELL US THAT THEY DID FIND SOME SHELL CASINGS IN THE ROADWAY. SO THAT IS EVIDENCE THAT THEY'LL TAKE BACK. THEY'LL LOOK AT AND SEE IF THEY CAN TRACK DOWN THE SUSPECT HERE, BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T HAVE A DESCRIPTION AS TO WHO MAY BE RESPONSIBLE OR WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE T
