Seven people were injured, four critically, in a late night shooting in Long Beach on Saturday, police said.

The shooting took place near South Street and Paramount Boulevard around 11:15 Saturday night, according to a bulletin issued by the Long Beach Police Department.

At least two men were suspected of firing into the group, the department said in an update Sunday morning. All the victims were adult men.

Videos of the aftermath posted to social media show a heavy police presence outside the Prendido de Noche nightclub nearby.

“This police department is dedicated and focused on arresting any violent offender utilizing dangerous firearms to victimize our community,” Chief of Police Wally Hebeish said in a statement. “The Long Beach Police Department has been actively investigating this shooting since late last night, and we will continue working until we identify and arrest those involved in this unacceptable act of gun violence.”

The department believes the shooting was “gang related,” but so far, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made, police said.
