A 58-year-old man died at the scene, while three others were taken to hospitals, according to local law enforcement. A 27-year-old man later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. A suspect in his 30s is in custody and is also hospitalized with life-threatening wounds.
Another man, also in his 30s, remains hospitalized, though his injuries are not thought to be severe.
