Brown said the victims’ conditions range from non-life-threatening injuries to critical condition. No deaths were immediately reported. Police were waiting for their emergency treatment to be resolved before they could be interviewed.
Investigators are trying to determine a motive and get a description of the car and those responsible, Brown said. No one was in custody.
Brown said there were no known conflicts at the corner Monday night. Brown said there were several large groups on the corner, which is a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood. Some were reported to be attending a vigil. (AP)
