CNN later reported that a woman had been shot in the chest and was in critical condition. PBS NewsHour confirmed this, citing one source, and added that the person who was struck by a bullet was not a uniformed officer.
MSNBC reported a law-enforcement officer fired the shot. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remained unclear in the immediate aftermath.
