The incident, which took place at approximately 9 p.m. at the intersection of North Caroline and East Fayette streets, resulted in seven individuals being injured. Among the victims is a 3-year-old boy who underwent surgery and remains in serious condition, although police have stated that all injuries are non-life-threatening. Authorities have not yet identified the suspect(s), with Police Commissioner Richard Worley noting that investigators are currently reviewing camera footage to determine if the perpetrator(s) arrived by car, on foot, or via bicycle or scooter.
