    One person is reported dead after multiple people were shot at Maplewood Park in Rochester, New York.

    RochesterFirst reported that a 20-year-old died and six others are injured following a mass shooting at the park.

    One is reported to be in a life-threatening condition and five others have been hospitalized with minor injuries.

    They reported that Rochester Police first responded to the park at approximately 6.20pm after reports of shots fired.
