A 16-year-old male succumbed to gunshot wounds in Anchorage on Tuesday night.
At 8:37 p.m. police responded to the 400 block of Price Street, where they found the boy with gunshot wounds to his upper body. He was transported and declared dead at a nearby hospital. Police do not release the names of juvenile victims.
The APD Crime Scene Team responded to process the scene and closed Thompson Avenue at Price Street, later reopening the intersection, which is in the Mountainview neighborhood.
Earlier on Tuesday, Anchorage Police responded to a report at 6:52 a.m. of an adult male shooting a firearm in the parking lot of the 5700-block of Rocky Mountain Court.
Upon arrival, officers found another adult male near 6th and Boniface by San Juan Circle with at least one gunshot wound to the upper body.
Anchorage Fire Department medics responded to the scene in the Russian Jack neighborhood and provided life-saving measures; however, the victim was declared deceased at the scene. The man’s identity will be released once next-of-kin notification procedures have been completed, police said.

Addled Acres, formally know as Mountain View again lives up to its expectations. So so sad for the 16 year old and his family. I miss Hula Hands but will not go there any more at night.
So how many does that make it this year.. ?
Unfortunately, it’s probably going to get worse with this leftist assembly and mayor. Seems like all leftist democrat cities are plagued by crime
Right or left, it’s the bad folks in the cities that breed violence. There are no safe places anymore.
Actually Greg the left has created this nightmare intentionally. Liberal judges need I say more. Most attorneys are left wing as are most judges. 0 accountability 0 enforcement of the law.
I feel it goes back to poor parenting. Raise kids correctly, and they never see a courtroom until jury duty.
New York City was horrendous. Mayor Giuliani bought it back by enforcing the the laws. Graffiti, jaywalking, etc. the same needs to be done here.
maybe the right will learn their lesson and get off their ass to vote
Democratic results at its finest.
This is what the left wants.
No law-abiding Alaskan should go unarmed in Anchorage. End of story.
Never go unarmed anywhere, not just in Anchorage. It’s dangerous out there.
Only two shooting deaths on Tuesday this week?
I guess that isn’t such a big number considering Anchorage is such a huge city….
The death toll will become the usual topic on the third page of ADN if it has enough other good news to keep families feeling safe.
