McManus said he believed the incidents are related and stemmed from an altercation that began in front of the barbershop.

"This started from a disturbance in front of the barber shop and escalated to gunfire and a stabbing. I believe that we have a suspect right now," Chief McManus said. "This was not a robbery. Right now, the investigators are digging further to find out as much information as we can."

Police have identified a man in his 30's as a suspect; they have not taken anyone into custody in the incident. McManus said investigators are unsure if the suspect and victims knew each other.
