The police discovered two weapons at the crime scene and did not provide any other information about the incident.

Kirkpatirek also added that about 45 minutes later, another shooting occurred on the bridge and three more people were shot, and since the vehicle was unable to drive on the bridge, it is obvious that the shooting occurred inside the crowd.
