Five people were injured in a shooting during a motorcycle rally in Galveston, Texas, Saturday night, police said.
Shots were fired as crowds were gathered for the Lone Star Rally in a historic district known as The Strand around 11 p.m. local time, Galveston Police Department spokesperson Officer Kurt Koopmann told CNN. All five people who were shot were taken to an area trauma center for treatment, Koopmann said. “One person of interest has been detained, but not charged at this time,” Koopmann said, adding that the incident is under investigation.
The rally had already drawn a heavy law enforcement presence to the area, which allowed first responders to react quickly, Koopmann said. The Lone Star Rally is billed as the largest four-day motorcycle rally in North America, according to its Facebook page. The organizers posted that hundreds of thousands of people were headed to the island this weekend.
