A shooting in Baltimore has left eight people injured, including a three-year-old girl, and police say they are hunting three armed suspects who fled on foot.

The shooting occurred on Saturday night just a block from where the city held a party earlier for a special event.

Baltimore Police Spokesman TJ Smith said none of the injuries was life-threatening and that the victims included a father and his three-year-old daughter.

Smith tweeted that the suspects ran after the shooting and that one of them was armed with a shotgun and the other two had handguns.

At the scene, police had at least three blocks cordoned off and were keeping away bystanders and reporters.
