BALTIMORE (AP) — Seven people were found suffering from gunshot wounds when officers responded Sunday to a report of a shooting, the Baltimore Police Department and news reports said.

    The department said on its Facebook page that police responded to a report of a shooting at 2:10 a.m. When officers arrived, they located four victims who had been shot: a 20-year-old male with wounds to the shoulder and hip; an 18-year-old male with wounds to both legs; a 27-year-old male with a wound to the arm; and a 17-year-old male with wounds to the back and leg. They were transported to hospitals for treatment.

    Two other people who were shot, a 22-year-old male and a 17-year-old male, walked to area hospitals, police said.

    Local news reports said police later announced a seventh victim arrived at an area hospital for treatment for a gunshot wound. The victimโ€™s age and exact injury is unknown.

    The police statement did not indicate whether anyone was taken into custody. Detectives were asking anyone with information to them at 410-396-2411 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.
