A gang-related shooting wounded at least seven victims in a parking lot in Long Beach, California, on Saturday night, authorities said.

Two men are believed to have opened fire on a group of people at around 11:15 p.m. near South Street and Paramount Boulevard, the Long Beach Police Department said. The suspects fled the area immediately after the shooting.

Responding officers found multiple victims at the scene and rendered aid. Paramedics rushed some victims to a hospital while others drove themselves, according to the department.

All seven reported victims are adult males. Three suffered non-life-threatening injuries, while four were in critical but stable condition, police said.
