It said not all injuries were the result of gunshots, though it did not elaborate.

The shooting began at about 12:45 a.m. at the Lux high-rise apartment building on Johnson Street. Officers had been dispatched over a large party on the apartment's roof and were pulling into the parking lot when notified of shots fired.

"Dozens of people were screaming and running out of the building as officers approached," the city said in a statement.

"Officers ran up 12 flights of stairs in order to reach and help people."

Police initially said that the shooting appears to have been targeted and the suspect remains at large.
