A 25 year-old man was shot in the lower back. He was taken to the Med in critical condition. The security guard who police say escorted out the accused gunman initially was shot in the lower leg. He was transported by ambulance to the Med in non-critical condition.
Two other victims who were each grazed by a bullet were in good condition on the scene and refused medical treatment. Police say one man was grazed by a bullet across his back and a woman was grazed by a bullet across the neck.
Police say after the accused shooter fired off several shots, the man who was grazed by a bullet shot back at him but missed. Police say the man who fired back has a gun permit. If police decide he was shooting in self-defense, they say he will not be charged.
