CHARLOTTE: Three people were killed and six others were wounded early Monday (Tuesday in Manila) when multiple people fired into a crowd at an impromptu celebration in North Carolina, police said. Five others were hit by vehicles.

The shooting happened at an impromptu block party in Charlotte that was a continuation of Juneteenth celebrations, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Deputy Chief Gerald Smith said at a media briefing Monday. About 400 people gathered on the north side of the city when someone in the crowd was struck during a hit-and-run accident, Smith said.
