The alleged shooter then tried to leave the scene, but police on site for security stopped his vehicle before it could exiting the parking lot.
Witnesses claim that an argument broke out between a small group of men, and Hulbert then pulled out a pistol and fired six shots. One struck the unnamed man, and the others hit vehicles in the area.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and has since been released.
This incident of gun violence is especially troublesome in the wake of the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting.
