Arrests in the "Serial Shooter" cases that have terrorized the entire Phoenix metropolitan area. Nothing yet on the equally-dangerous "Baseline Killer," though, so the fear remains:
Authorities arrested two men Friday in connection with a series of fatal shootings that have terrorized Phoenix area residents for more than a year.
"These are the two monsters we've been hunting," Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said at a news conference Friday.
The men were considered suspects in the "Serial Shooter" case -- one of two serial killers whom authorities say have been operating in the Phoenix area.
The men were apprehended at a gated apartment complex and were being held at Phoenix police headquarters, police Sgt. Andy Hill said.
Authorities have said that the so-called "Serial Shooter" is believed to be responsible for killing six people and wounding 17 others, mostly pedestrians and bicyclists, since May 2005.
The most recent was Sunday in Mesa when a 22-year-old woman was fatally shot as she was walking from her parents' home to her boyfriend's house, authorities said.
