CNN —Five people were injured in a shooting during a motorcycle rally in Galveston, Texas, Saturday night, police said.

All five people who were shot were taken to an area trauma center for treatment, Koopmann said. The rally had already drawn a heavy law enforcement presence to the area, which allowed first responders to react quickly, Koopmann said.
