While officers were at the hospital investigating the shooting, they were notified of a sixth person who was being treated for gunshot wounds.
It was determined that this person was at the lakefront watching fireworks when they believed they had been hit by an ember.
Medical tests later performed on that person showed that they were in fact suffering from a gunshot wound, not a fireworks injury.
Police say they believe that this person was hit by a random bullet which was fired into the air indiscriminately.
That case remains under investigation as well.
