“They may have been shooting at each other,” Heffernan said at a press conference.
Police say the gunfire erupted after a foot chase and assault involving two rival gangs at the event, WTOL 11 reported.
Authorities say the shooting was caused by a dispute between groups.

“Those who were scared, traumatized or hurt by this violence will continue to be at the forefront of our efforts,” Bates said in a statement. “I've been angry before, but this is personal. This is my home. These are my friends and neighbors. It's not right.”
