Rudlaff said at this point, the shooting doesn’t appear to be gang-related, but investigators are still looking into possible motives.
Rudlaff said investigators found a gun on the ground and a couple of casings on the ground that didn’t match each other, “so we do know that there is at least multiple guns involved.”
