“There was some kind of dispute that escalated to a fight and then gunshots,” Lewis said. He thinks the dispute was from outside the shooting location.

“At this time, this is an isolated incident and no arrests were made at this time.”

One of the people shot is in critical condition, according to Lewis. The others, including the stabbing victim, are in moderate condition.

No arrests have been made.
