Multiple shooters came out of a vehicle in the Kensington area of the Pennsylvania city and opened fire amounting to about 40 shots.

Stanford also confirmed that the wounded were in hospital with seven of them in stable condition.

He added that the target of the shooters remained unknown, assuring that police were investigating.

This latest incident follows a series of U.S. school shootings that have left dozens dead and wounded this year alone, adding to a long-drawn-out U.S. debate over gun control.

Recall one of such gruesome incidents took place in May when a gunman killed 19 children and two adults in Uvalde, Texas.
