It was a violent weekend in the West Valley as three shootings occurred, all involving teenagers.
The first took place at a house party near Dysart Road and Maryland Avenue in Litchfield Park.
Four juveniles were reportedly shot, and all of them were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Trump says US negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump said that American negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran.
Vice President JD Vance and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be traveling to Islamabad for the talks, according to the White House.
In a social media post on Sunday, Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement by firing bullets on Saturday in the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure in Iran if it doesn't take the deal that the U.S. is offering.
"If they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran," Trump wrote.
But Iran is not yet ready to hold a new round of face-to-face talks with U.S. officials, a senior Iranian official said Saturday, citing Washington's refusal to abandon "maximalist" demands on key issues.
Body camera video shows Phoenix Sgt. at high school protest, wanted students to assault him
Body camera video now shows the moments an off-duty Phoenix Police sergeant showed up to a high school ICE protest armed and wearing a mask.
The video released by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office shows the moments when Phoenix Sgt. Dusten Mullen told a Chandler police officer that his goal was to get kids in jail if they wanted to break the law.
"My plan is legitimately to just let them all assault me and you guys arrest them all," Mullen could be heard saying, " I will keep it on film. I also have other people filming from a distance, so my goal would be to get all these kids in jail if they want to break the law."
Last week, Mullen was placed on administrative leave as the Phoenix Police Department investigates this off-duty encounter.
A Chandler police report says that Mullen confronted students and was asked to move to avoid further escalation.
"The other officers advised the male did not wish to leave the area and was in fact calling other armed persons to respond to the area," the report said.

After this weekend’s championship game, organizers say they are already looking ahead to next year with hopes of making the tournament a new Arizona sports tradition.
