Five people were injured, two of them seriously, early Tuesday when a man opened fire inside a Highland garage, authorities said.

The victims were inside the garage of an apartment complex in the 25000 block of 5th Street when an unidentified man walked up to the group at around midnight and sprayed them with bullets, authorities said.
