Few details were immediately available, but police say no one was in custody and they don't have a description of the suspects. Investigators said shell casings from multiple calibers of weapons were found in the parking lot. Police believe the victims and suspects might have known each other.

On Sunday, an Aurora police spokesman said the boy, whose age wasn't previously known, is 16. His current condition wasn't known, but police say he is still alive.
