The suspect is believed to be a black man with curly hair.

While addressing a presser, a senior cop said: “One juvenile at this point, it appears, is dead. 2 other civilians and 1 police officer are injured. They are recovering”.

Officials added that the event was carried out without permission.

However, the hunt for the suspect is underway. 

It pertinent to mention here that amid growing concerns over gun violence in the US, President Joe Biden had called for a ban on assault weapons for the sake of protecting children and families or raising the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
