No fewer than two persons were killed and five others injured during a shooting incidence Sunday at a Los Angeles park during a car show event.
The
Associated Press reported that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said
the shooting occurred around 3:50 p.m. at Peck Park in LA’s San Pedro
neighborhood.
At a news
conference LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz said that the casualties were reported at the
baseball diamond, according to The Associated Press.
“The
original call came out as having multiple shooting victims on the baseball
diamond at Peck Park. As we speak here, this is an ongoing, active crime scene,
and we are continuing to clear the park for evidence and potentially additional
victims,” Muniz said. “We don’t know exactly how many shooters we have at this
point.”
The LA Fire
Department said the incident occurred at or near the venue of the car show,
adding that at least three people suffered gunshot wounds and two of them were
in critical condition, The Associated Press reported.
Of the seven
victims, four were men and three women. The identities of the victims have not
been released.
