A gang-related dispute at a Los Angeles park led to a barrage of gunshots over the weekend that left two men dead and six people wounded, authorities said.
The shooting happened Sunday afternoon at Peck Park in the San Pedro neighborhood, Los Angeles police said. About 500 people were in the park when the gunfire erupted and many of them ran for cover.
A dispute of some kind preceded the gunfire, Capt. Kelly Muniz told reporters. Police don't know what started the disagreement or how many people fired. No arrests had been made and no information has been disclosed about suspects. Officials initially said there were five people wounded and taken by paramedics to the hospital, but authorities found out later that a sixth victim went to a hospital in a private vehicle.Peck Park is about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
But Officer Drake Madison, a police spokesperson, said he had no information about a car show in the area. He said the gang-related altercation and shooting happened near the baseball field.
