SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Nine people were shot at a Saturday night “celebration" in central New York, authorities said.
Of the nine victims, one was a 17-year-old boy in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head and eight others — ranging in age from 18 to 53 — were expected to survive, a release from Syracuse police said.
No one was immediately taken into custody, and Syracuse Police Chief Kenton Buckner emphasized that the investigation was in its early stages in an appearance at a press conference alongside Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh.
Syracuse officers had arrived at the scene just before 9 p.m. for reports of a stolen car, but responding officers were met with by people who said shots had been fired into the crowd of a "few hundred," Buckner said. The police chief said his officers didn't hear the gunshots.
The event was “some kind of celebration" that was centralized in a parking lot near downtown Syracuse, Buckner said, adding that there were multiple locations in the area where shots were possibly fired. No city permits were granted for the event, Walsh said he believed.

9 shot at a party on Syracuse’s Near West Side; teen in critical condition
Updated Jun 21, 2020; Posted Jun 20, 2020
A flurry of gunshots wounded at least nine people at an outdoor party with hundreds on Syracuse’s Near West Side Saturday night, including a 17-year-old boy who is in critical condition.
Police Chief Kenton Buckner said at least nine were wounded and taken to Upstate Medical University after the shootings near Fayette and Wyoming streets. The boy was shot in the head, police said.
A video posted to Facebook appears to capture more than 25 shots that scattered the crowd.
A witness said the shooting occurred at an annual outdoor gathering called “Rye Day,” which features a DJ. Several hundred people crowded into a square near the WCNY building to enjoy the music, cookout and festivities. The event was scheduled to end at 9 p.m.
About 15 minutes before the event was to end, the music abruptly stopped, the witness said. Then he heard at least 12 shots and people scattered.
