Four other people were injured when they were running from the shooting, the sheriff’s office said. Sheriff Ken Mascara added that the shooting happened just hours after the MLK Day parade ended.
A video taken by a witness shows people dancing by their cars and enjoying music when what appears to be gunfire rings out, per CNN. People quickly ran, some ducking behind cars or grabbing children’s hands and running across the street.
