Mills said some of the victims were taken by a private vehicle to a local hospital.

Multiple police units are on a scene near 700 North Redwood Road.

According to Mills, there was a funeral going on at the church when the incident took place. “Some sort of altercation” in the parking lot led to the shooting.

As emergency responders arrived at the scene, the shooting suspects had fled in a unknown vehicle. At this time police are working to determine the number of suspects.

“The suspect vehicle description is fairly vague at this time, but it was last seen going up, north on Redwood Road,” Mills said.
