Nine people were shot at a Saturday night “celebration” in central New York, authorities said.

Of the nine victims, one was a 17-year-old boy in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head and eight others — ranging in age from 18 to 53 — were expected to survive, a release from Syracuse police said.

Syracuse officers had arrived at the scene just before 9 p.m. for reports of a stolen car, but responding officers were met by people who said shots had been fired into the crowd of a “few hundred,” Syracuse Police Chief Kenton Buckner said.
