 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Six teenagers are in critical condition after gunfire broke out in a residential neighborhood in California - as police frantically search for the suspect.
Shots were fired just before 11:00pm on Saturday in Moreno Valley, located in the Southern part of the Golden State. Riverside County Sheriff's Office deputies rushed to the scene in response to several calls about the commotion, finding five victims with severe gunshot wounds.
Paramedics then arrived and took the injured people to the hospital. Another person with a gunshot wound went to the hospital on their own, and police later connected them to the same horrifying incident.
Authorities said the ages of those who were injured ranged from 14 to 18 years old and later revealed they were all at a 'social gathering.'
As of Sunday morning, no arrests related to the shooting have been made, KTLA 5 reported. The events are under active investigation, and more details have not yet been made available.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office for comment.
Saturday night's incident comes about two months after a 22-year-old man was shot and killed in the same city.
According to Crime Grade statistics, Moreno Valley has a slightly higher crime rate than the average American city. It is safer than 37 percent of cities, but less safe than the remaining 63 percent.
