Scranton police talked with witnesses here at police headquarters and spoke with the victims at the hospital.
"The majority of it happened in the street; there's a house that may be involved. We're still trying to determine that at this point. We're still trying to piece everything together. We're getting the information and forwarding it to our detectives, and they've taken over the investigation," said Lieutenant Phil Condron.
"A guy who was walking his dog and he was coming by and he said he heard five gunshots, and that's why he stopped and now this is the fourth ambulance that's here. They already took three out," said Cyndi Pittenge or Scranton.
Police say another female was taken to the hospital for a panic attack.
A couple that lives around the corner from the scene on Mulberry Street heard a person in distress around the time of the shootings.
"I heard a girl on the back porch, she was screaming, 'I want my brother, I want my brother'. And the cop was telling her to calm down, calm down. And she just kept yelling, 'I want my brother, I need my brother,'" said Shawn Labadie of Scranton.
Police say all of those who were hurt are in stable condition.
