00:00Well, Julie, really the only information we have confirmed at this hour is police telling us that two people, two
00:05men, did die here on scene.
00:08The parking lot is the Ashland Square parking lot.
00:11It's in between the Walmart and Dollar Tree.
00:14Those are the main anchor stores in this parking lot off of Hill Carter Parkway, just off of Route 54,
00:20the mile marker 92 exit off 95.
00:22They got called here about 7.30 tonight.
00:25I spoke with one witness who says she saw three men in the parking lot arguing.
00:30Then all of a sudden guns were brought out and she heard at least four or five shots.
00:33Here's what else she had to say.
00:37Three boys in the parking lot fighting over a girl.
00:40It started as a fist fight, and I know all three of them.
00:45And I was standing by myself, and then I heard the gunshot, so I ran back to my car.
00:52And then one of the other girls were screaming for help, screaming for help, and the boy was in the
00:57car bleeding from his side and on his arm.
01:04I'm told by sources.
01:08Police plan on being out here, Julie and Jeanine, throughout the night.
01:12It may go well into the morning with this investigation.
01:15They're in the very early stages of this.
01:17As you can imagine, this is one of the main shopping places in the city of Ashland, or the town
01:22of Ashland, I should say.
01:23And so there was a lot of people out here.
01:26They have a lot of witnesses to speak with, and they have to stay on the scene so police can
01:31speak with him before they can go home.
01:33And we've seen that throughout the night here for the past three and a half hours.
01:37And I heard one officer say he could go well into the morning.
01:40So the investigation is underway.
01:42Again, two confirmed dead here.
01:44My source is telling me both are men.
01:46And police continue their investigation and ask anybody out there, if they left the scene before police talked to them,
01:53to please give their tip line a call and have detectives come out and speak with them about this incident
01:58that happened here in the parking lot tonight.
