MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - The Shelby County Sheriff's Office arrested four people after a large fight broke out at the Agricenter Saturday.

According to an SCSO spokesperson, approximately 500 people were at the Agricenter for a music event when the fight started.

During the fight, someone began shooting. A security officer told Sheriff's deputies that he saw a red Chevy Impala driving away, and witnesses told him the people in the car were responsible for the shooting.

Deputies then stopped the car and found 22-year-old Samuel Russell, 21-year-old Joshua Sullivan, and two teenagers ages 13 and 14, along with a 9 millimeter gun.

"It's pretty sad. There is no fun in that, and with so many fun, family-friendly events that are happening right here in this one spot, it's just a shame that they couldn't do something that's a little more productive," said Hope Cooper.

Detectives say no one was hurt during the shooting.

SCSO says all four suspects were charged with reckless endangerment.
