Witnesses told Local 3 News that there was a class reunion happening at the center, saying that there was "chaos" when the gunfire erupted.
"Everybody was just having a good time and all of sudden just shots just started, going everywhere, and little kids and babies and everything was on the ground. It was bad," witness Jeoff Herman told the station.
Another witness told WTVC-TV that he rushed to the aid of a girl on the ground after she was shot.
"They covered all the bullet wounds, kept her from bleeding out," Dominic Burkes said. "And I covered the sun off her face and made sure I held her hand and made sure she was OK."
The circumstances leading up to the shooting were unclear.
Police said the investigation is ongoing and more information would be released when available.
