One of them remained in critical condition just before midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police confirmed that another victim was reported on Sunday, raising the total to 9. The ninth victim suffered non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are working tirelessly tonight to identify the individuals who were involved in this shooting,&#8221; Davis said. &#8220;We believe there were at least two individuals that fired weapons during this incident.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details about a possible motive for the shooting were not immediately known and no arrests were made as of Sunday night.
