The violence started with an argument, it said, before shots rang out. A security guard working at the venue quickly apprehended a suspect, the office said, and turned him over to two deputies who rushed to the scene.

“We are cooperating with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and praying for all those involved,” it said.
