Lieutenant Jim Mulligan of Lee County Sheriff's Office confirmed as many as 17 people had been wounded.
Syreeta Gary's daughter survived the attack. Speaking on a Twitter video, she said: 'Well, I just thank God that my daughter is okay. She could have been shot. She was dodging bullets and dropping between cars.
'It is ridiculous that kids have to go through this and they cannot enjoy themselves because you have people with criminalistic minds who want to terrorize people.
'I'm just glad that she's okay.
'She was running away from bullets so she wouldn't get shot. Her friend got shot in the leg.
'They were running for safety.'
Police detained 'one person of interest' at a second nearby crime scene.
It is understood there have been reports of shootings at two other locations. Police are treating the three incidents as being linked.
The gunman is believed to have shot at a car and a house.
Witnesses reported hearing at least 30 rounds being fired during the incident.
