Police said witnesses reported a heated verbal dispute between two groups in the 1000 block of 11th Street S. At some point, shots were fired by several people with handguns, hitting the four known victims.
Police said the cause of the altercation is under investigation, but it appears to be related to a fight that had occurred the previous evening between the two groups.
