Retired NBA star Shawn Kemp may have not have been the only shooter in a Tacoma, Washington mall parking lot on Wednesday, where he was arrested for an alleged drive-by shooting. Officers were actually responding to a report of 'two suspects firing shots at each other,' according to dispatch audio obtained by TMZ.

The Seattle SuperSonics legend, 53, was booked by cops at 5:58pm Pacific Time (8:58pm EST) on Wednesday, just hours after he was involved in an alleged drive-by shooting involving two cars in the parking lot of a shopping mall. Kemp was released on Thursday afternoon.

Fox 13 reported in the early hours of Thursday morning that Kemp 'had property stolen from his car on Tuesday and tracked his iPhone to Tacoma on Wednesday.'

Now TMZ is reporting that there were two shooters, although it remains unclear who fired first. It is alleged that the basketball legend confronted the suspect, who then shot at Kemp, and Kemp fired back in self-defense.

A police report on Wednesday revealed that shots were fired in a parking lot near the 4500 block of South Steele Street, close to the Courtesy Tire store. Four shots were heard and a revolver was found outside a Firestone Complete Auto Care, according to TMZ. Video published by the website shows a man, who appears to be Kemp, ditching something out of his driver's side window before his arrest, where police later found a handgun.

Police said nobody was hurt in the shooting, but that Kemp - initially identified as a 53-year-old man and later named in the report - was held at the scene.

Drive-by shooting is a Class B felony under Washington state law, and carries up to a 10-year prison sentence and maximum $20,000 fine.
