At least two people are dead and six others injured after a shooting at a block party in Memphis in the U.S. state of Tennessee on Saturday, according to police.
"During the follow-up investigation, we learned that there were only eight total victims, with two of those being deceased on the scene," Memphis police said in an updated statement posted on X.
Police had earlier said that 16 people were shot.
"We believe the error occurred with several victims being reported multiple times," police explained.
One of the injured remains in critical condition, while one has been released, police added.
"This was a block party that was occurring without a permit," police said. The block party had about 200 to 300 people in attendance.
At least two suspects are being sought, CBS News reported, citing Memphis Police interim chief Cerelyn Davis.
"We believe there are at least two individuals that fired weapons during this incident," Davis told CBS News.
