TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Police are investigating after they say an argument led to a shootout between two groups of men at an apartment complex on Mission Road.
According to the Tallahassee Police Department the shooting occurred Sunday around 1:49 a.m. at the Mission Grove apartment complex.

Two of the vehicles struck by bullets were not occupied at the time of the shooting.
