Authorities believe an occupant of a black sedan opened fire on a white SUV, striking the driver, Holmes said, but what led to the shooting remains under investigation. A pickup truck was also involved.

He called it a "contained incident" and said there is no danger to the general public.

No other information was disclosed.
