We have a large resource on site in the area, so our assessment is that there is no danger to the public, so I understand that people may be concerned.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is quite close in time after the incident that the boy was taken into custody. The boy is suspected of attempted murder.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Three people ran into nearby restaurants with gunshot wounds, with one local woman saying: \u2018You don\u2019t really want to be out late at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You\u2019re worried about your children.
