UPDATE 2 - 10/11/2013

The Madison Police Department is searching for five people directly involved in Tuesday night's deadly shooting at Harmony at Grandview Commons.

Surveillance video shows a vehicle, believed to be a Lexus SUV, pull into the east side apartment complex around 8:30 p.m. Four people immediately got out of the vehicle and began shooting, while a fifth person remained inside.

"They fired round after round, not caring for who or what they may strike," Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said during a Wednesday afternoon media briefing.

"It was a cowardly act of violence."

Nearly 50 rounds were fired during the shooting.

Officers arrived to find a 15-year-old girl suffering from a gunshot wound. They immediately began treating her in an attempt to save her life. She was transported to the hospital, where she passed away.

Two 14-year-old males also showed up to area hospitals with gunshot wounds. One has been treated and released. The other, as of Wednesday afternoon, is still receiving care and is considered stable.

A 14-year-old girl suffered a graze wound.

Multiple homes were struck by flying bullets. Two of the homes were occupied by children and families.

Officers worked until the early hours of Wednesday morning processing the scene. Detectives returned to the complex later Wednesday morning searching for more physical evidence.

They are trying to determine if the teens were targeted and are working to figure out why this deadly shooting occurred.

Still frames from the surveillance video gathered at the scene are attached to this report. The images show the suspects and vehicle involved in the shooting.

Anyone who recognizes the vehicle involved or the suspects or has information about this shooting is asked to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014 or online at p3tips.com. Information may be shared anonymously.

All of the victims lived in the area and were students within the Madison Metropolitan School District. The teen who died was a sophomore at East High School.

Officers are providing extra patrols around East and La Follette high schools and Whitehorse Middle School as a precautionary measure.

At this time, there are no known retaliation plans or threats against other students.

Tuesday's shooting was Madison's 10th homicide of the year. The Dane County Medical Examiner's Office will release the victim's name, as is standard practice.
