Authorities arrested two people after a reported road rage shooting that partially closed the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10, just west of State Route 587 near Sacaton, officials said Saturday night.

The passenger and the driver of a sedan were found with non-life threatening injuries, officials said.

Witnesses helped troopers locate two other people who police arrested.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety was called at about 5:30 p.m. to investigate shots being fired at milepost 175 of the highway, according to DPS spokesman Bart Graves.

Officials have not identified those involved in the incident. The investigation is ongoing, Graves said in an emailed statement.

The right lane is blocked, and traffic is still extremely slow, according to a tweet posted at 9:06 p.m. by the Arizona Department of Transportation. Officials had no estimated time for reopening the lane.
