“The men and women were here earlier in the day, saw the activity, they were packing up as this incident unfolded, but unfortunately, the individuals continued to engage in gunfire even though the officers were in the area,” Bethel said.
No arrests have been made. Police were also investigating a crash involving a Hyundai near the scene.
