CAMERON, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities were searching for a person of interest in connection with a shooting Monday in northern Arizona on a small community on the vast Navajo Nation.
The Navajo Police Department said the shooting occurred in Cameron, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Flagstaff.
Police didn’t immediately release details about the shooting but asked for the public’s help to locate 44-year-old Derick Myron.
Myron is considered armed and dangerous, may be driving a black pickup truck with New Mexico license plates and possibly headed to Tuba City, some 27 miles (43 kilometers) northeast of Cameron, according to police.
Police said the shooting was an isolated incident and not a threat to the community.
A shelter-in-place order was lifted around 10:30 a.m. for residents near the Cameron Chapter House and a Mormon church.
A motive for the shooting wasn’t immediately known. Police said the FBI in Flagstaff will be investigating the case.
