At least 13 people were shot, stabbed or hit by cars when chaos broke out among hundreds of people gathered in Syracuse, New York, early Sunday morning, according to police.
Four people were shot and injured, five suffered lacerations and four were hit by cars, Syracuse Police Lt. Matthew Malinowski said in a news release. All are expected to survive.
Police responded to a report of shots fired around 12:22 a.m. and found hundreds of people gathered near the intersection of Davis Street and Massena Street, Malinowski said.
“Officers entered the crowd and discovered several victims that were either shot, stabbed, or struck by vehicles fleeing the scene after the shots were fired,” Malinowski said.
Police did not say whether arrests were made or if any suspects have been identified.
“The investigation is very active and ongoing,” Malinowski said.
Elsewhere, a shooting at a Houston nightclub left six people injured, including one who is listed in critical condition, police said early Sunday.
Police responded to the shooting overnight at a club on Richmond Avenue in west Houston, Police Chief Troy Finner said at a news conference and found multiple victims ranging in age from late 20s to early 30s.
“Apparently there’s some kind of disturbance inside of the club that came out into the parking lot,” he said.
No suspects are in custody.
The investigation remains active, and police are reviewing surveillance camera footage in the area, said Finner, who noted he had limited information to share.
“It makes no sense to fire up into a crowded parking lot,” he said, vowing to find those responsible.
“We’re gonna hold them accountable.”
