"Two groups of people that apparently might have known each other," Mayor Tom Barrett told FOX 6. "It’s uncertain whether they did. I think some of the camera footage shows there was an interaction that occurred inside the gas station and then outside the gas station."  

A 26-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident, but his name has not been made public. Police continue to search for additional suspects.

"People are using guns to solve problems," said Barrett. "That’s a serious problem."
