THE ALASKA STORY
Sept. 26, 2026 – Four people were taken to Anchorage hospitals after a shooting early Saturday in the 2400 block of Spenard Road, according to the Anchorage Police Department. Police described their injuries as non-life-threatening.
APD’s preliminary statement gave no account of what led to the shooting, whether anyone had been detained or where in the block the shots were fired. The department offered little information, saying the circumstances remained under investigation and that more details would follow. Hours later, those questions remained unanswered in its public report.
A separate account based on emergency response information and observations at the scene placed the call at about 3 am near Chilkoot Charlie’s. It said Anchorage Fire Department crews were dispatched with police, additional responders were called as reports of multiple victims came in, and the response was upgraded to a multiple-victim incident.
APD has identified only the 2400 block of Spenard Road as the location; it has not confirmed that the shooting occurred inside the bar or on its property.
Photos posted to a privately run Facebook page show the response.

Another blackout by APD. If they don’t say anything then nothing happened. Maybe in a week or so we will get another well rehearsed but empty statement from Case. A way to make the crime statistics look better? A Seattle style cover for LaFrance, Case, the assembly. Anyone else see a glaring problem with all of this?
As soon as I seen the burned Hobo/drug dealer camper. The photo of it leads me to form a good assumption what had happened before the shots. In the Hobo caravan of campers, the only ones who could “afford” the basic upkeep of a camper would be a hobo drug dealer and a fight over a debt, drugs, or territory.
