The victims ranged in age from 4 years old to 58 years old.
Authorities believe there were at least two shooters involved and three of the victims were innocent bystanders, including the young child who was shot in the chest while playing outside.
"I heard people screaming, I looked out the window and saw one of the guys on the ground. He was saying he got hit," said Monica Green, a neighborhood resident.
Green's car was also hit with bullets multiple times in the crossfire.
She says the ongoing violence in the city is deeply unsettling.
"The whole thing is frustrating. Our community really needs to dig deep," said Green.
Just a few hours later, police say three people were shot outside on the 600 block of Franklin Place in the city's Poplar area.
