"I think a lot of people are worried that it was an active shooter situation, and it wasn’t," Sergeant Tony Murphy told Fox 24. "Initial reports lead us to believe that it was an altercation that occurred between two parties."

The suspect fled the scene of the crime after the shooting and has still not been apprehended.

The incident remains under active investigation.
