The chaos unfolded steps away from resident Servando Garcia's home.

"I told my wife 'get on the floor, somebody's shooting at the house,'" Garcia said.

At least one bullet hit Garcia's home as the gunfire continued.

"I look out the window and see something hit the wall and the spark on the wall of my house bounced back and looks like it hit my car," he said. "I walk out of the house right away to see what’s going on when I see everybody running out, going crazy. I tried to call 911."

Garcia's surveillance cameras showed officers quickly arriving at the scene.

Police said five people were wounded in the shooting. Their identities and conditions haven't been released.

One person was also detained but police haven't given any other information.

NBC6 reached out to the Omega Center for comment and was awaiting a response.
