A spokesperson for the department told PEOPLE that the three men were hit and a woman passenger in a separate, unrelated vehicle was struck in the crossfire.

In a separate post, the Dish Nation star said that his daughter “made it out of her operation” and is “doing great.”
Meanwhile, Aaryn — who celebrated her 19th birthday just days ago — recounted the harrowing incident on her Instagram Stories, writing alongside a photo of a blood-stained passenger seat, “This is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. I won’t be out of the hospital for a while nor will I be able to walk for a while due to nerve damage.”
Along with a photo taken from her hospital bed, she also shared that she was shot in the leg.
“[T]he fact that the bullets that went thru my legs were armored riffled [sic] bullets made to go through anything (how they got through the car) but the one [that] would have hit me in the head was not that kind and ended up lodged in the car. God.” she wrote. “Words can’t describe how grateful i am to be alive right now.”
