Police Cleaning Up Kenmar Shopping Center After Shooting

September 5 – More than 500 people in the parking lot when someone started shooting. About, 30 bullets fired in all. Now, some worry this could become a common danger on the weekends.

It's business as usual Tuesday for Colortyme in the Kenmar shopping center but looking more closely you can see reminders of this weekend's violence. A bullet in the parking lot gunshots through several windows.

Business owners say late night weekend crowds in the parking lot outside his store are a growing concern.

Around 4 am Saturday morning more than 500 gather after the bars close. They come from all over town.

Somebody starts a fight, guns are drawn shots are fired. Five people end up in the hospital.

Gunfire erupts as police are clearing the lot bullets narrowly missing officers. Some 30 are fired in all, amazingly; those hit only have minor injuries.

Police say they're working with the Kenmar shopping center to make the area safer and are on regular patrol.

It's believed rival gangs are behind Saturday’s shooting but whoever pulled the trigger, is still on the loose.
