Hours before two men were arraigned on shooting charges Tuesday morning, Bronson also told Alaska’s News Source he remains confident in the job Anchorage Police Department Chief Designee Bianca Cross is doing.

A passerby identified two men in the senior center parking lot as being involved in the shooting, police said.
