EUGENE, Ore. — Six people were shot during a concert at an event hall in Oregon on Friday night, and the suspected shooter was not yet in custody, police said.

Officers responded to the WOW Hall in Eugene about 9:30 p.m. “What law enforcement found when they came on scene is what you would exactly expect when six people just got shot,” Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said at a news conference. “People are just trying to get out of here, their friends are on the ground, they’re trying to help.”

Six people were taken to the hospital, and at least one was in critical condition, Skinner said. The extent of the other injuries was not clear.

The shooting happened in a parking lot, said police and officials of the venue, where a concert featuring Lil Bean & Zay Bang and other artists was being held

Police said no one was in custody. Skinner described “chaos” when officers arrived, and said investigators had not received much information from possible witnesses.

Investigators have not determined whether the shooting was random or targeted, the chief said.
