Columbia County sheriff's Lieutenant Dave Hoig said detectives believe that the shooting suspect, 19-year-old Shamarquis L. Salter-Bryant of Piru, ran into rival gang members at the Fair Grounds when the shooting took place. Shamarquis is charged with opening fire on them with a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.
Ten people suffered wounds, One life threatening.
