When officers arrived, they located an 18-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition but is expected to survive, according to Glendale Police Department.
During a preliminary investigation, police say three individuals in a light-colored sedan were seen talking to the victim who was outside the vehicle.
During the conversation, someone from inside the vehicle started firing a gun at the victim, striking him at least twice.
The victim took off running and was aided by a "passerby," police said.
By the time police arrived, the suspect vehicle had already left the scene.
Detectives are questioning several people who were with the victim at the time. It is believed the suspect(s) and victim were known to each other.
ABC15 spoke with people inside one of the restaurants who say things turned chaotic quickly.
"Three guys were running in, kinda looked really upset and especially one of the guys was crying. He started to tell us that he heard multiple shots outside," said a customer inside a restaurant, who wishes to remain anonymous.
Isabel Almazan says she hopes the victim can pull through.
Almazan says she came out from dinner to a crime scene. She noticed security guards were on heightened alert.
"I noticed that the security guard locked the door. He didn't say anything to anybody, what he did was he kept looking out," said Almazan.
Glendale Police Department is asking for any witnesses to contact them at 623-930-3000.
No other details have been released.
