The three people were later in the parking lot when one of them pulled out a knife.

Witnesses say a vehicle drove by moments later and a passenger inside the vehicle opened fire.

One person was shot in the leg and the suspect with the knife fled the scene, but was later caught by an off-duty officer at the hospital.

Police say the shooter remains at large.
