A witness told Jon Burkett she saw an argument between three men, before guns were drawn and four or five shots rang out.
"Three boys in the parking lot, fighting over a girl," she said. "It started as a fistfight. I know all three of them. I was standing by myself, and then I heard the gunshots so I ran back to my car and one of the other girls was screaming for help, screaming for help, and the boy was in the car bleeding from his side and on his arm."
