At least two people were killed and “several” others injured after a “planned fight” at a North Carolina park escalated into a mass shooting.
The police identified several victims and suspects after Monday’s shooting at Leinbach Park near Jefferson Middle School. The authorities confirmed there were multiple victims in the shooting, but did not provide an exact number. The suspects were still at large.
Officers were called to the park after reports of a fight, which then escalated into several people shooting each other.
The police said that due to the number of people involved, efforts are ongoing to account for everyone. “At this time, some of those involved in the incident are juveniles,” they said. According to a local news station, at least three people were taken to hospital.
