The woman was shot in the chest. Before she was taken to the hospital, police applied a special bandage designed for chest wounds.
She had an emergency C-section to save the baby. The baby survived, but the woman remains in critical condition as of Monday morning.
Another woman suffered a gunshot wound to the head and she’s in serious condition at the hospital.
Three men suffered bullet wounds to their legs. Police applied tourniquets to two victims before ambulances arrived.
Authorities said it was unclear whether any of the victims were deliberately targeted or simply caught in the crossfire. It’s also unclear what the motive for the shooting was.
Those responsible for the shooting were still at large.
