A fight at the Dollar Tree on John Wayne Parkway led to a heavy Maricopa police response last night after witnesses said one of the people involved pulled a gun.

The incident happened around 9 p.m. at the Edison Pointe shopping center, where several patrol cars filled the parking lot with flashing lights as officers responded to reports of a weapon.

Senita resident Talonna Poteet, 44, recorded the scene in a Facebook video. “It’s going down. The whole police department is here,” she said, panning her camera across the lot. “Check on your people, make sure everybody[‘s] good, ’cause the whole police department is up here at the 99-cent store. There’s a car right there that they[‘re] searching.” Her video shows multiple Maricopa police vehicles with lights activated.
