At least one person opened fire at a large backyard party in the upstate New York city of Rochester early Saturday, killing two people and wounding 14 others in their late teens to early 20s, police said.

The shooting sent about 100 people fleeing in a “very chaotic scene,” Acting Police Chief Mark Simmons said.

Police are trying to determine who — and how many people — opened fire. No suspects were in custody, and no motive was immediately known, Simmons said.

The shooting moved Mayor Lovely Warren to visit the neighborhood Saturday and call for calm and healing in a city recently roiled by protests in a different high-profile case — the death of Daniel Prude after an encounter with police earlier this year.

The 14 wounded are from 17 to 23 years old, and were taken to two hospitals with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Police responded to calls of gunshots around 12:25 a.m. and found dozens of people running away, Simmons said.

The party happened despite several restrictions on gatherings. Rochester had told residents, because of the coronavirus pandemic, to limit social gatherings to household members and not to gather in groups, according to the city’s website
