Police have confirmed they are sweeping an East Baltimore area for three shooters thought to be in possession of a shotgun and handguns. At least eight people have been shot, including a parent and a three-year-old child.

Three suspects fled the scene, including one bearing a shotgun and two who had handguns, Chief of Media Relations at Baltimore Police, T.J. Smith, tweeted. Eight people were wounded, he confirmed, but the injuries were "all non-life threatening."

Smith added that a father and his three-year-old daughter had been among those wounded.
Earlier, conflicting reports said that a"juvenile," a "child," or "toddler" could be among the injured.


Police told CBC's local affiliate WJZ TV that at least three people were sent to local hospitals. The hunt for the suspect remains underway.
