“At this point we do not fear for the victim’s life,” he said. Stephens added the individual is currently in stable condition. 

“We do not fear for the public’s safety at this time,” he added. “It’s not the type of incident where we’re alarming the public or we’re worried about something. It is an isolated incident. Once the investigation is done we’ll release more information.”
