Summary
Toledo police said Tuesday the Saturday festival shooting was an open-fire gunfight between two rival gang members, leaving 12 people wounded, including three intended targets and nine bystanders.
Video and witness interviews indicate a dispute escalated into a foot chase and assault before one man drew a pistol and a rival returned fire, investigators said.
Police have recovered at least two guns, including one seized in a downtown search, and are seeking two known male suspects ages 18 to 24; several victims remain hospitalized.
Authorities have not named the gangs, but detectives say more than 30 gangs operate across Toledo and its suburbs, many tied to Chicago groups that move guns along the I-90 corridor.
