Police say the incident began with a fight involving a group of three adults and two teenagers, all known to each other.

At one point, one of the adults pulled out a gun and fired multiple times, shooting a woman and a teenage boy. The boy then pulled out a knife and cut the man who fired the gun.

A man, who had suffered other injuries, and a juvenile were detained in the parking garage, police say.

Those involved in the case have only been identified as three adults and three minors.

Officials say the case awaits the charging decisions made by MCAO and JCC.
