It was unclear what led to the gunfire.
"At this time information is very limited, but it appears there may be some type of relationship between the suspect and (victims) in this incident," Shebloski said Tuesday afternoon. "However, the exact nature of that relationship has not been determined or confirmed at this time. What is known is a lone male suspect wearing dark clothing was seen running from the location of the shooting."
