Another victim remains in critical condition; four others are expected to survive, police said.

A shooting incident has been reported in Mesa, Ariz., March 18, 2015.

A Mesa police spokesman said that they believe the shooting spree began inside a room at a local motel, and that the suspect then shot one person at a nearby bistro before carjacking a vehicle and driving to an apartment complex.

The suspect then broke into an apartment in that complex, shooting one man, before fleeing to a neighboring apartment building and breaking into another apartment and shooting another individual, who is now in critical condition, police said.

"We don't know exactly what happened at the first shooting," a Mesa police official said. "We know there was some type of argument and they possibly knew each other."
