Huffington Post:...This was not a 'come-at-police' situation, ...(w)itness Brady Vancel told WAFB... They werent targeting police at first...because these were men out here shooting at each other in an empty parking lot until the police showed and then it turned into a gun battle -- Im guessing to try to get themselves free or get out of the situation.
