“They were probably shooting at each other,” Heffernan said during a news conference.
Police said gunfire erupted after a foot chase and assault involving two rival groups at the festival, according to WTOL 11.
Authorities said the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the groups.
Earlier this week, Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates promised that “justice will be swift and strong.”

“Those who were scared, traumatized or harmed by this violence will continue to lead our efforts,” Bates said in a statement. “I’ve been outraged before, but this is personal. This is my house. These are my friends and neighbors. It’s not right.”
