At least six people were injured, two critically, early Sunday when an assailant opened fire on a crowd gathered outdoors in a Northwest Side neighborhood of Chicago, according to police.

The drive-by shooting in the Humboldt Park neighborhood unfolded around 2:09 a.m., the Chicago Police Department said in a statement.

"While outside, an unidentified offender discharged a firearm, which struck multiple victims," police said in the statement.

The shooter remained at large on Sunday. Detectives were working to identify the assailant and a motive for the attack.

A dispatcher relayed that a 911 caller reported hearing up to 30 gunshots, according to ABC Chicago station WLS. The caller, according to a recording of police radio transmissions obtained by WLS, said a neighbor was shot on a porch along with a woman.

Two women and four men, ranging in age from 33 to 46, were taken to area hospitals with gunshot wounds, police told ABC News.
