The guard went to break up a fight between a female passenger in an open-air and a festival vendor around 11 p.m. near 7th and South streets, but when the woman got back in the car, the driver — wearing a mask and dark clothing — opened fire, several news outlets say citing police.
The guard was struck twice and hospitalized with serious injuries, according to 6abc.
Authorities believe the altercation started about a block away with a group of ATV operators, dirt bike riders and open air vehicle drivers taking down barricades in place for the festival.
