A mass shooting near a park in East Baltimore, Maryland, Sunday night left one victim dead and seven others wounded, according to police.
Baltimore Police said the incident happened at about 8 p.m. in the 1300 block of Spring St. near Caroline & Hoffman Park.
Police Commissioner Richard Worley said at a news conference that police believe there was a gathering on Spring St. when multiple people opened fire.
Officers responded to the scene and found multiple male victims and one female victim suffering from gunshot wounds, Worley said. Police also recovered several firearms at the scene.

Four victims were located at the scene while the other four transported themselves to hospitals. The surviving victims were all admitted to hospitals for medical treatment.
A 36-year-old man died in the shooting, Worley said.
The victims’ ages range from 22 to 45, Worley said. The surviving victims are listed in various conditions, from critical to stable.
Mayor Brandon Scott released a statement following the shooting in which he urged the community to report any information they may have on the suspects.
“Tonight, Baltimore is grappling with the impacts of another mass shooting event that has taken the life of one Baltimorean and irreparably changed several others,” the mayor said. “Investigators from the Baltimore Police Department will diligently work to find and hold those who are responsible accountable for this horrific act of violence. To those who know who was involved — even if they are your loved one — I implore you to do the right thing and urge them to take accountability.”

Scott also attributed Sunday’s shooting to residents’ ability to access firearms.
“These tragic acts of violence — which are still too common in our city — are only possible because of the continued ease of access to guns on our streets,” he said. “We cannot acknowledge this tragedy without acknowledging the role that the proliferation of guns plays in endangering our communities.”
The mayor added: “Tonight, we are holding space in our hearts for the family of the Baltimorean we lost and those who have been injured — and we will continue our work to ensure no Baltimorean is lost to violence. To that end, we will activate a Coordinated Neighborhood Stabilization Response through [the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement], and will offer this community every resource they need to begin the long process to heal from this tragedy.”
The incident remains under investigation.

Defensemen Max Wanner was re-assigned to the Maine Mariners from the Providence Bruins on Thursday. Defenseman Michael Underwood was also re-assigned to Maine.
Wanner, 22, was acquired by the Boston Bruins when they traded Trent Federic to Edmonton last March. He played in 15 games for the AHL Providence Bruins at the end of last season, and seven this season.
Underwood returns for his second stint with the Mariners. He appeared in 67 games with Maine last season.
Gov. Maura Healey said Thursday that the state is spending an additional $250 million to limit premium increases for residents who have insurance through the Massachusetts Health Connector.
After Congress let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire at the end of last year, more than 300,000 people in Massachusetts have been facing a potentially steep increase in their health care bills.
The governor’s office said those enrolled in ConnectorCare who make below 400% of the of the federal poverty level, which is $62,600 for an individual or $128,600 for a family of four, will see “little to no premium increases.”
Under the plan, Healey’s office said a 45-year-old couple with two kids in Fall River will see their monthly health insurance costs rise from $166 to $206. Without the new funding, the governor says they would be paying $452 a month.
“While President Trump continues to increase health care costs, we are taking the strongest action in the nation to address them and keep costs as low as possible for families,” Healey said in a statement. “Despite this increased state investment, far too many people will still see their premiums increase because of the White House.”
The U.S. House of Representatives is set to approve a three-year extension of the health care tax credits. While it appears unlikely to pass the Senate, senators have talked about a compromise plan that could include a two-year extension with added reforms. President Trump hasn’t offered a specific health care plan, but said subsidies going to insurance companies should “go to the people” instead.
The $250 million is coming from the Commonwealth Care Trust Fund, which gets its money from employer medical assistance contributions and financial penalties from residents who violate the state’s health care insurance mandate.
Massachusetts residents can sign up for health insurance coverage or switch their Health Connector plans until Jan. 23 if they want to be covered by Feb. 1.
