Ammon News - Seven people were shot and injured in a mass shooting near Tacoma, Washington Wednesday evening.

Lakewood police said there was a gathering of more than 100 people when some kind of dispute broke out between two groups on May 28, which led to the gunfire erupting, police sergeant Charles Porche told the AP.

“Officers arriving at the park found a large crowd that had gathered due to the nice warm weather. The scene was quite hectic as a large number of these people were attempting to flee the park after hearing the shots,” Porche told the News Tribune.

West Pierce Fire & Rescue provided medical care to five of the victims, Porche said, per the outlet. Those five were taken to a local hospital, while three others went to the hospital on their own. People
