3 injured, 3 arrested in shooting southwest of Wasilla

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Three men have been arrested after a shooting outside Wasilla that left three other people injured.

Peter Williams, 32, Darin Smith, 26, and Andre Franklin, 41, were taken into custody Thursday night on suspicion of attempted murder, kidnapping, robbery and assault counts, Alaska State Troopers said. Online court records do not list their attorneys.

Troopers just before 9:30 p.m. Thursday took a report of gunshots fired in a neighbourhood off west Hollywood Road southwest of Wasilla. The witness reported three men carrying guns walking away from the shooting scene.

Responding troopers found three people with wounds, including one with a life-threatening injury. The three were transported to Mat-Su Regional Hospital.

Troopers heading to the shooting scene ran into the three suspects walking on an all-terrain vehicle trail along Hollywood Road. They were taken into custody and held without bail.
