PACOIMA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- New video shows the moment chaos erupted after shots were fired at a carnival in Pacoima.

The shooting unfolded just after 9:30 p.m. Sunday at a small fair in the Pacoima area.

Police say it all stemmed from an argument between two men.

At one point, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot a 19-year-old, who is expected to survive.

Video obtained by Eyewitness News from a viewer who was riding the Ferris wheel at the time shows a bird's-eye view of the crowd moments after the shooting occurred.
