Besides the 14 people that were injured by the shooting, a 15th victim was reported knocked down by a car. Victims include people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and sadly, a 3 years old child an 11 years old child and a 13 year old teenager.
The police have confirmed that the incident was a drive-by shooting, and it happened just after 9 pm on Monday night.
Reports on victims vary as at least six of them are reported to be in critical condition in the hospitals nearby. The others are in a fairly good condition. As at the moment, there has not been any casualty.
As regards the victim who was knocked down by a car, she was hit while trying to run away. The police have launched their investigations as they are currently looking for two suspects that fired the shots from a dark SUV.
