According to Gabriella Martinez, many people thought the gunshots were fireworks at first, but everything changed very soon.
She realized that a person with a rifle was perched on the roof of a building in the area and was firing in her direction, so she and her daughter hurried into another building across the street.
Dr. David Baum, who was present at the procession and assisted in the treatment of those who were injured as a result of the shooting, stated that he witnessed multiple persons being shot.
Authorities have stated that the search for the individual who is believed to have fired the rounds is ongoing and have requested that residents avoid the area.
