Smith added that a 12-year-old boy was brought to a local hospital with a gunshot wound. Smith said he was determined to be a victim of the shooting.
All the surviving victims had non-life threatening injuries, she said.
"This is another example – and I've been here before in this space of violence – that we just cannot accept in our communities," Smith said. "My condolences go out to the family and friends who were impacted by this senseless gun violence tonight."
