Authorities said the shooting was an isolated incident, adding there was "bad blood" between those involved.
"As far as what took place here, we could tell you that this started at a concert car event. A fight broke out during that concert. At that point, the venue kicked those individuals out of the concert. It escalated out in the parking lot area, and that's when the gunfire erupted. We know that the individuals that started firing these shots, they are known to each other. They've had some heat between them before, so this is a very isolated incident."

Authorities said the situation could have been worse, but officers were on scene within minutes and people were cooperative once they arrived.
"We are grateful for the fact that our officers were on the scene and had this under control within three minutes. This location is right near our police department. So we had officers there. We had our fire department there, treating individuals immediately. Unfortunately, we still did have a loss of life three individuals, but we still had a very fast response time."

"We are still actively looking for shooters. In this case, we are asking for the public, if they have any information that they can help us to find these individuals that they do bring that forward to us," Santiago spoke.
