“There were two parties involved that were basically shooting at each other in the middle of a crowd,” Graboys told reporters.

The shooters, he said, “did not care about the people around them when they did it.”

Graboys said investigators were combing through evidence and interviewing potential suspects, although no one had been charged till early Sunday.
