Multiple people were apparently injured early Sunday morning after gunfire erupted near the Gaslight Lounge in downtown Anchorage.

According to the Anchorage Police Department, officers responded to reports of shots fired at approximately 2:50 am in the area of 4th Avenue and G Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered several victims at the scene. The extent of their injuries has not yet been released.

As of Sunday morning, no suspects have reported to have been detained. Police say they are actively following up on leads but have not released any suspect description or details about what may have led to the violence.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about the shooting — including surveillance footage from nearby businesses or residences — to contact Anchorage Police Dispatch at 3-1-1 (option #1) or (907) 786-8900 (option #0).

The motive behind the shooting remains under investigation, as do any potential connections between those involved. Police said further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

This story will be updated as new information is available.

Police have still not released information about the Friday shooting incident near an active baseball game at Mulcahy Stadium in midtown. The name of the suspect is still unknown, but he was reported to have been bitten by police K9 Kevin and was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.

  1. The “kinder gentler”police attitude and lax enforcement of laws along with democrats running the show…..incompetence has a price.

  2. What is going on in Alaska? The state should be doing well if it allowed oil and gas investors to bring prosperity to Alaska’s residents. Perhaps the leadership will encourage more oil and gas production instead of using a stick and high bonds to pressure oil and gas workers and investors right out of Alaska. Could you pray for improvement and open Alaska up for more Alaskan investors? Drill Baby Drill.
