All six people wounded were hospitalized. The person initially believed to have been shot suffered life-threatening injuries; the five others hurt suffered minor to serious injuries. By about 5:40 p.m., the two people found injured in the car had been released from treatment, police said. “It’s certainly unfortunate that something like this would take place at a funeral service,” Wiscombe said. “It’s already traumatic enough for families to experience the death of a loved one, but then to have that added on top of it — it just is something that is going to be a memory with them that is very unfortunate.”
