"It's sad that you got to worry about things like that," Jennifer Summa, eyewitness and a friend of the shooting victim, told FOX61. "He could have lost his life today."

The incident started with a fight, according to Summa. At one point, one of the men left the scene in a car, and he came back a few minutes later and shot his gun about three times, with some of those shots hitting the shooting victim, Summa told FOX61.

It's not clear what provoked the fight, Summa said.
