Authorities confirmed at least six people were injured Wednesday after a shooting broke out during a teenager’s funeral in Ferguson, Missouri.

The Ferguson Police Department responded to a 911 call just before noon Wednesday reporting shots fired at the Cotten-Branch funeral home.

Officers arrived in under two minutes, describing the scene as “complete chaos,” Ferguson Police Chief Troy Doyle said during a news conference.

Three people suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening, and three others were injured in the chaos that ensued after gunfire rang out.

Doyle said shots were fired outside the building and potentially inside the funeral home.

Hundreds of people were attending the funeral for an 18-year-old.

Multiple people of interest were apprehended by police, and multiple guns were recovered, according to Doyle.

“Anytime you have a shooting, it’s a tragedy in our community,” Doyle said. “It’s kind of unfortunate because you have loved ones that come to a funeral to grieve a member of their family, and, unfortunately, [were] subjected to this type of chaos.”

It is unclear how many shooters opened fire and what led to the shooting.
