July 12, 2020, just after 2 a.m., Roanoke Police were in the 200 block of Market Street SE watching a large crowd in a parking lot. Police say the crowd consisted of about 100 people.
While officers were there, they say, 40-50 shots were fired from several people in the crowd. Officers called for extra units and began to head into the crowd to try to stop the threat and make sure no one was hurt. The parking lot cleared out shortly after the shots were fired, according to police.
That’s when, police say, two women began fighting with each other. Police used pepper balls to break up the fight and minimize any injuries. Police say other people from the crowd pulled the women away, and everyone involved ran off before they could be identified.

No arrests have been made. This is an ongoing investigation.
