Seven mourners were shot and wounded as they attended a funeral in Wisconsin, according to reports.
A gunman is said to have pulled up in a car outside the Serenity Funeral Home in Milwaukee and opened fire on a crowd of 100 people gathering for the ceremony on Wednesday.
The victims, who are aged between 24 and 48, are all in stable condition in a city hospital, say police.
Acting Milwaukee police chief Michael Brunson said that they are all expected to survive at this stage.
Authorities are continuing in their search for the attacker.
Funeral home owner Cedric Guy was in a different part of the property when he heard gunshots ring out at around 12.45pm.
“Once we heard the shots we called 911. We just shut everything down. It just went crazy from there on,” Mr Guy told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Mr Guy said the funeral was for Braxton Taylor, 26, who was murdered in the city on September 17.
Mr Taylor was shot to death and his killing reportedly remains unsolved.
