00:30Today we mourn a tragic, a senseless, a horrible event that happened in our city last night.
00:55Several individuals were wounded, three of them deceased that we know.
01:01A senseless death.
01:04Our hearts go out to the victims, the family, their loved ones, friends, and to our community.
01:11A heartfelt condolences to all.
01:14This is a sad day for our community, as I've said.
01:18There's no place for violence like this in our community.
01:23The investigation so far reveals that there was an altercation between two groups of people,
01:27and that altercation escalated to gunfire between both groups.
01:31Several other people were also injured in the crossfire.
01:36Officers arrived on the scene and began treating people immediately, while trying to deal with the chaos of that situation.
01:41Bystanders, some of them at the heart, had already started administering treatment.
01:47Officers' fire arrived very quickly, and they began immediately rendering aid, despite the fact that the scene was not secure yet.
01:55But as of right now, there are 15 people that are injured and three that have passed away.
02:00This is a huge crime scene with a lot of moving parts.
02:04It will take time to process it thoroughly and reopen everything.
