PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Three people died and six others were injured in a shooting at a large gathering early Sunday morning in the Carroll Park section of West Philadelphia, police said.

Police responded to a call about gunshots shortly after 2 a.m. on the 1200 block of North Alden Street.

A 33-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene and two other men died at local hospitals, according to police.

Late Sunday night, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that police are investigating the shooting and she’ll have more to say on Monday.

“Every shooting and homicide in Philadelphia is painful to me, and my administration will not rest until every resident, in every neighborhood, feels safe in their community,” Parker said.

Police said there appear to be multiple shooters.

Several cars were also struck by gunfire, police said.

Police recovered one gun from the scene, and homicide detectives are investigating; they don’t have much information on the shooters, police said.
