“It had me shaking, it was so close to our vehicles,” the chief said. “I jumped out of my truck and a female ran up to me and said she was shot. The streets were packed so I knew it would take too long to get EMS there so I had her get in the back of my truck and we took her straight to the hospital.”
At least three people were taken to local hospitals for gunshot wounds. Lundy claims every officer on the force worked the entire weekend.
While no deaths have been reported, the conditions of all victims are unknown at this time.
The investigation remains open. No suspects have been apprehended.
