Sixteen people were injured when two groups opened gunfire during a gathering of several hundred people to record a music video Sunday night in a New Orleans playground, authorities said.
Ten people were transported to University Medical Center New Orleans, while six others were said to have arrived on their own, police said. The severity of their injuries were not known.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison told NBC station WDSU that the shootings may be gang-related. Multiple units were assisting with a parade about a block away when they learned of the video session and were already on their way to the park when the shooting began about 6:15 p.m. (7:15 p.m. ET).
Video published Sunday night by the New Orleans Times-Picayune showed multiple people lying on the ground being attended by emergency personnel or being taken away on stretchers.
