Crazy old man, 72, shoots three people at Phoenix office building

Another day, another shooting. Phoenix police are searching for a very crazy old man who they believe shot three people at a Phoenix office building, leaving one person dead and two in critical condition. Phoenix Police Public Information Officer Tommy Thompson said the gunman arrived at the office building about 10:30 a.m. and to discuss some type of meeting concerning some pending litigation. He then got into an altercation with someone, a conflict that escalated to the point where the shooter drew a gun and shot two men and a woman. One of the two seriously wounded men in the office shooting later died. Police identified the unlucky man as Steve Singer, the CEO of the Scottsdale-based Fusion Contact Centers. Police also identified the suspect as 72-year-old Arthur George Harmon and said Harmon fled the scene in a white vehicle and fired shots at a witness, who was giving chase. As police searched for the suspect, SWAT teams and two armored vehicles surrounded his house in the 14000 block of North 28th Street . For a time, police used a megaphone to ask Harmon to surrender, believing the old man might be inside the home. Harmon's son refused to allow officers to enter the house until they obtained a search warrant. Unfortunately, police could not find the shooter when they entered the house.
