At least one person is dead and another six people were injured when gunfire erupted inside a Rochester park Sunday evening, according to reports.
A person in their 20s was killed while another person was left in life-threatening condition following the shooting at Maplewood Park around 6:20 p.m., Rochester police said, according to Rochester First.
Another five victims were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries in the upstate New York city, authorities said.
A heavy barrage of gunshots interrupted a large gathering inside the park – causing the crowd to flee in a chaotic scene, according to a purported video of the shooting posted on social media.
More information about the victims and shooting, including the number of suspects, was not immediately available.
“At this point, we don’t know how many people were shooting,” Rochester Police Captain Greg Bello said, according to the station. “We are trying to work our way through that. We are trying to work our way through as many witnesses as we can.”
No arrests have been made.
