Meanwhile, state police special agents assigned to the investigation of the shooting incident at the Dumas car show confirmed that 27 individuals were wounded by the gunfire. The list of wounded victims includes the name of Cameron Shaffer, 23, of Jacksonville, who died at the Dumas hospital.
During a news conference Sunday, the number of wounded was reported to be 28. The discrepancy appears to be attributed to one patient admitted locally and later transferred to another hospital.
Among the wounded are five children ranging in age from 19 months to 11 years old.
