Phoenix police say 2 dead, 5 wounded after gang shootout

PHOENIX (AP) -- Phoenix police say two teenage boys are dead and five other teens have been wounded after a shootout among gang members at a party.

Detective Stacie Derge says there was a party attended by gang members early Saturday at a home near Southern and 19th avenues and two members of a rival gang arrived.

The two young men went inside the house, had a brief exchange of words and then pulled out handguns and started shooting. Derge says people inside the home returned fire.

Killed in the house was 17-year-old Alonzo Santos. Police said 16-year-old suspect Sergio Pelayo also died.

The suspect's 18-year-old companion was also shot. Four other young men, two 17-year-olds and two 18-year-olds, are being treated for gunshot wounds. None of the wounded suffered life-threatening injuries.
