Six people, including a 5-year-old girl, were wounded in a mass shooting in a Baltimore neighborhood on Saturday night, local media reported.

Gunfire erupted shortly before 8:50 p.m. local time (0050 GMT) near the intersection of Spaulding and Queensberry Avenues, where people had gathered outside to eat, ABC News reported, citing Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley.

Worley said the people had gathered outside and were eating crabs when "somebody just opened fire."

One man is in critical condition and undergoing surgery. Police have not released any information about the suspected shooter or shooters.

"We have little information at this point. All we know is there's multiple rounds fired, multiple victims," Worley said.
