KABUL: (Middle East Press) A mass shooting left at least 16 people wounded in New Orleans, Louisiana early Monday, according to local media.
The incident took place at the Bunny Friend Park playground, where two groups of unknown shooters opened fire on a large crowd of people taking part in a music video.
Circumstances surrounding the shooting in the city’s Upper Ninth Ward, and details of what precipitated the violence, were not immediately clear, but New Orleans Police Department spokesman Tyler Gamble told Reuters no fatalities were reported.
Hundreds of people were gathered for a block party and the filming of a music video when the shooting occurred.
Three witnesses said they spotted a man with a silver-colored machine gun, and heard more gunshots from within the crowd as he ran away.
The motive behind the shooting is still unknown and police have not made any arrests yet.
