By Laura Studley, CNN

Two people are in critical condition after a shooting early Sunday in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood, police said.

Police responded around 2:30 a.m. to reports of multiple people shot, Boston Police Department Superintendent-in-Chief Chief Greg Long confirmed in a news briefing.

Three suspects were taken into custody after the vehicle they were fleeing in crashed, Long reported. They were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, he added.

A firearm was recovered at the crash site.

The two victims, who police believe to be in their early 30s, were also taken to local area hospitals with life-threatening injuries, Long said.

“There seemed to be some sort of disturbance here … At this time, it’s too early in the investigation to indicate what precipitated it,” Long said.

Long noted police are not aware of a connection between this and other incidents in the area, but said the investigation is ongoing.
