DALLAS — Editor's note: A previous version of the above video included information from police source that one victim was skipping school. The victim's mother says he was out of school for a doctor's appointment. 

Three people are in stable condition Friday morning after they were shot in downtown Dallas Thursday afternoon, officials say.

A Dallas police spokesperson said police were called about the shooting in the 1800 block of Commerce Street downtown shortly after noon Thursday. 

Sources told WFAA police are still looking for the suspect and the motive is unknown. No arrests have been made as of Friday morning. 

Dallas police didn't provide additional suspect information at a press conference shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday.

Watch the press conference here:

Dallas Fire-Rescue confirmed multiple units responded to the scene, including five rescue units, and two of them took patients to the hospital. 

Sources tell WFAA the incident started with an argument. Two adults and a 16-year-old Dallas ISD student were shot in the ensuing shootout, sources confirm.

They're all expected to live, sources tell WFAA. 

Call logs show the address matches the one for the Continental Building next to the AC Hotel Dallas downtown.

One resident told WFAA that she heard more than a dozen gunshots before being rushed out of her apartment.

"I ran in my closet, I hid. I called the police immediately," said Dayana Bailey. "It was the screaming, it was the screeching, it terrified my soul and my spirit." 

She said she saw bullet casings and a trail of blood as police evacuated her out of the building. 

"Blood everywhere, blood in the hallways, blood in the elevators when you get to the first floor," she said. 

Candice Haywood said she saw one of the victims who made it outside the building -- and helped him until an ambulance arrived. 

"I compressed his bullet wound and he was calling for his momma," she said.
