Officers who were already on the scene responded and found three people suffering from gunshot wounds. A 43-year-old woman was shot in the foot, a 19-year-old woman was shot in the thigh and a 21-year-old man was shot in the ankle.

It was not immediately clear if the victims were the intended targets.
When asked if any weapons had been recovered, Newburgh Chief of Police Anthony Geraci would only say that evidence had been recovered, but he did not specify what.
Geraci said there were functioning surveillance cameras in the area, and Saturday afternoon police released a picture of two people of interest.
"We're poring through video evidence, cellphone footage, eyewitness accounts, and obviously the victims who are at the hospital, so there's a lot of information coming in," he added.
Police believe this was an isolated incident and said there was no danger to the public at this time.
So far, no arrests have been made.
