Police interviewed people who were in the lot at the time of the shooting, according to the department, but no suspects had been named and no arrests had been made at the time of the release.
Because the lot was a common hangout area and the individuals likely knew each other, department spokesman Lt. Michael Ford said, police believe there is not a threat to the public.
