CLEVELAND (AP) — Several shots rang out from a handgun during a large fight near an outdoor concert venue in Cleveland, leaving four people wounded after a "Unity in the Park" festival featuring funk music artist George Clinton, police said Sunday.

Authorities said they were searching for a male suspect who pulled out a handgun and fired into a group of people Saturday night during the fight. No arrests were reported in the hours after the shooting, Police Sgt. Sammy Morris told The Associated Press.

"It was a large fight. Somebody in the crowd produced a handgun and fired several times," Morris said, adding all four victims were hit by gunfire.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A man fired several shots from a handgun during a large fight near an outdoor concert venue featuring funk music artist George Clinton, killing one person and wounding three others, police said Sunday.

The fight erupted before 10 p.m. Saturday at an intersection near Luke East Park, the venue for the eighth annual Unity in the Park festival. Police didn't have a description of the shooter, and no arrests had been made by midmorning Sunday, Sgt. Sammy Morris told The Associated Press.

It wasn't immediately clear how long after Clinton or the other musicians performed that the shooting erupted or what prompted it. Police didn't know if those involved in the fight were among concertgoers leaving the area.

"These were younger people, so we're not sure," Morris said. "George Clinton is an older (artist). We're not going to speculate."

A 16-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the head died of his injuries early Sunday, Morris said. He didn't know the conditions of the other three who were wounded: a 20-year-old woman shot in the neck, and a 14-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man each hospitalized with leg wounds.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported earlier that the two most seriously wounded were in critical condition, and the other two were stable.

The newspaper said thousands of people had gathered for the festival, which featured George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic as the headline act.

The thing that got me was the fact that they were young individuals, unless it was a random shooting, and For it to happen at a George Clinton concert makes me think :retard: but "it is what it is" and so one is left to wonder until the vitims are at full recovery and can give details of what happened!

I'm assuming that since this was a concert in a park, it's possible that any age would have been
floating freely through the park. It looks like the wrong folks showed up like they do at most parks
in the U.S.---"Hoodlums lurking in the mist."

Everyday I am on this earth, I become more and more convinced that there are just some people who were born with no good in them whatsoever...not an ounce.

Prayers up for the victims.

So true. I will never understand why these folks like to bring misery to a so called good time. They come looking for trouble before they pull in the parking lot.
