At least one person is dead and 24 others are wounded in a mass shooting just after midnight Sunday at a large outdoor party at Kelly and 8th avenues in Akron.

A 27-year-old man died in the incident, according to a news release from the Akron Police Department. According to a spokesman from Summa Health, he was dead when he reached the hospital.

According to spokespeople from Cleveland Clinic Akron General and Akron City, one patient at each hospital was listed in critical condition.

Akron Police Capt. Michael Miller said he was not aware of any arrests in connection to the shooting, and preliminary investigations indicate this was a targeted incident.

“We don’t believe there is a risk (to the public) at this point,” Miller said. “Inspectors have been working around the clock, trying to identify what happened, who was there, who had a role.”

Police responded to several 911 calls reporting shots fired and multiple people injured.

Some neighborhood residents who spoke to the Beacon Journal later Sunday morning described a scene of happiness and celebration suddenly giving way to chaos as bullets started flying.

Some people were trampled as the crowd tried to flee from the scene, one eyewitness said.

Soon afterward, multiple victims started showing up at local hospitals.

A firearm and several dozen casings were recovered from the scene, according to Akron police.

Police originally indicated as many as 27 people were shot, but later revised the number to 25.
