LOS ANGELES (AP) – Two people were killed and at least five others were injured after gunfire erupted Sunday at a Los Angeles park where a car show was being held.
The LA Police Department said the shooting happened around 3:50 pm in Peck Park in LA’s San Pedro neighborhood. The LAPD tweeted that it was not an active shooter situation, but did not provide further information.
LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz said during a press conference that the casualties were reported at the baseball diamond. Police have not identified the victims.
“The original call went out as having multiple shooting victims on the baseball diamond in Peck Park. As we speak here, this is an active and ongoing crime scene, and we continue 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 took place at or near the car show and that at least three people suffered gunshot wounds and two of them were in critical condition. Seven people in total, four men and three women, were injured and taken to hospitals, according to firefighters.
Police have not given a motive. No arrests have been made.
Peck Park is located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of downtown Los Angeles.
