Washington Post reports:
Authorities said in an email Sunday that an argument involving one of the victims led to the shooting. They described the video — released early Sunday — as showing two men leaving the argument and returning with a third before the gunfire erupted.
No arrests were immediately reported, and police said they were seeking the three men who fled.
Among the wounded were two males and two females. One male victim was in guarded condition Sunday with shots to the abdomen, thigh and pelvis while the second male was shot in the buttocks, one female was shot on the chin and right foot, and the second female was shot on the toe.
Police had said late Saturday that the most severely wounded man was undergoing surgery while the others were stable.
Hopefully the suspects can be identified by the video handed to the police.
