BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Thirteen people have been shot and wounded at a house party in Connecticut.

Police in Bridgeport were called to the home around 1:30 a.m. Sunday for a report of shots fired.

Responding officers found 11 men and two women suffering from gunshot wounds. All of the victims were taken to area hospitals for treatment. One of the women suffered a gunshot wound to the face and is in critical condition.

Police believe there were at least two shooters and that they fired through some hedges in the yard of an adjacent home. There’s no word on a possible motive.

The shooting remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Bridgeport police.
