MADISON, Wis (WKOW) -- Nine young people were shot or grazed by gunfire during a gathering at a Madison apartment building early Sunday morning, according to the Madison Police Department.
In the latest update from the Madison Police Department, Chief Barnes said no one has been arrested as of 4 p.m. Sunday.
Multiple detectives went back to the scene to canvass the area for more evidence and video.
At least one victim remains in the hospital. Their condition is unknown at this time.
In a news conference Sunday, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes addressed the public.
"It is truly a miracle that no one is dead, a miracle," said Barnes.
He went on to explain what transpired when officers were initially called to The Lux apartments on West Johnson Street at about 12:45 a.m.
"Officers watched as dozens of people rush out of the building, running in panic and tripping over one another simply to find safety. One teen who suffered multiple gunshot wounds was found bleeding in the street," the chief explained.
He said officers ran up 12 flights of stairs to reach the rooftop. They found people in various stages of distress and some were hiding in a maintenance closet to stay safe.
Chief Barnes said nine people suffered gunshot wounds or a graze. One other person was hurt by broken glass in the area. Some victims contacted the police overnight to report injuries. Others arrived at local hospitals to get medical attention.
The victims range in age from 14 to 23-years-old. Barnes said some victims were high school students.
"These students should have been celebrating summer vacation and not receiving medical treatment," he said.
At this time none of the injuries received are considered life threatening.
The Violent Crime Unit is leading the investigation.
The suspect(s) in this case has not been apprehended. Chief Barnes said there were two different kinds of shell casings found at the scene, so they could be looking at one shooter with two weapons or multiple gunmen.
When 27 News' Kodichi Lawrence asked about the public's safety, this is how the chief responded:
"Whenever there's someone who's fired a gun the script indiscriminately like this, there's always a threat to the community. But we're going to work to ensure that whoever is responsible for this is brought to justice."
Investigators are looking through surveillance video from the building and asking witnesses to share cell phone video of the incident if they have it.
"If you have something, even if it doesn't show the event, we want people to turn that over to us so we can see if we can match up who is responsible for this and bring them to justice," he said.
Another update will be given Monday at 9 a.m. 27 News will have you covered throughout the day on air and online.
