The injured are currently receiving medical care and undergoing surgery at local hospitals.

Presence of Minors Among the Injured

The injured group includes three minors: one 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds. The involvement of young individuals in this incident has raised alarm about safety in public venues, particularly in areas that have seen increased unlawful activity.

Recent Incidents in the Region
