The victim was transported to Community Regional Medical Center in unknown condition.

"There was a lot of confusion early on," Lt. Mindy Casto with the Fresno Police Department said. "Officers had a lot of competing interests while attempting to secure the scene, gather evidence, contact witnesses and making sure we have a good status on the victim who is currently at the hospital.
