ORIGINAL REPORT | Lee's Summit police are investigating an incident where two people shot at each other during an argument at the multi-sport indoor facility TM Fieldhouse on Saturday evening.
At 6:15 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to the venue located near Kingspoint Drive and Hamblen Road on the report of an active shooter.
When officers arrived, they determined that the incident was actually a shooting incident between two suspects, instead of an active shooter situation.
Police said the venue was hosting an event inside a gymnasium when two people began arguing.
As the argument continued, both people drew weapons and began shooting at each other inside the gymnasium, which police described as "crowded."
One suspect transported themselves to a local hospital with gunshot wounds and was later detained by police.
The second suspect fled the scene and detectives are working to identify him, authorities said.
The first suspect was the only one who was injured in the incident, according to police.
Detectives are currently processing the scene for physical evidence and interviewing witnesses.
TM Fieldhouse posted on their Facebook page just before 8 p.m. that all guests and staff of the venue are safe.
The venue also wrote that they are "fully cooperating with authorities and will continue to follow their direction as the matter is reviewed."
