Arizona’s Wild Weekend: Crime, Rescue, and Weather | Mesa News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 14, 2026 Duration: 1:00

Phoenix police are investigating the red-spray-painted vandalism of a Charlie Kirk statue in Tempe, just one year after his alleged assassination. Meanwhile, a high-speed boat crash in Lake Havasu killed two people when a 36-foot powerboat flipped into a campsite. In Guadalupe, a deadly shooting left one dead and another critically injured — the second fatal incident there in just two days. On a brighter note, neighbors rescued a wet emu from a Gilbert canal. And Arizona braces for humid, rainy weather with temps falling below 100 degrees midweek.
