Two men have been arrested in connection with a shooting incident at a casino owned by the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona.

Authorities say Cornelius Williams Jr., 23, got in fight with security in the parking lot at the Vee Quiva Hotel and Casino on Friday. He allegedly fired a gun into the air before fleeing the scene.

Tribal police worked with authorities in Phoenix to track down Williams, who was arrested this morning. A second man, David Miller, 29, who was said to be the driver of a truck that fled the casino, was arrested last Friday.

No one was injured during the incident.
