Despite the efforts of first responders, she was pronounced dead at the location.
Investigators learned that another individual, a man, was also injured during the incident. He was transported to a local hospital with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. The circumstances leading up to the shooting have not been publicly released by law enforcement officials, and the relationship between the two victims, if any, has not been detailed in the available information.
