Three teenagers have been killed and 15 people injured in a horrific mass shooting in a packed New Mexico park.
The bloodbath took place at the Las Cruces' Young Park at around 10pm on Friday.
A 16-year-old boy and two 19-year-old men were killed, police said. The injured range in age from 16 to 36-years-old.
The chaos unfolded during a monthly street takeover of modified sports cars attended by around 200 people.
Dramatic footage shows terrified revelers running and ducking for cover as shots are fired in the background.
Witnesses told the New York Times there was some kind of argument before shots were fired. One person reported seeing a man with an assault rifle-style weapon.
Police are frantically working to identify a suspect or suspects, with no arrests made so far.
'Las Cruces police and fire personnel were dispatched to the reports of gunfire and possible gunshot victims near the parking lot of Young Park, 850 S. Walnut St,' the force said in a statement.
'Officers arrived and learned of multiple gunshot victims. Most were transported to local hospitals. Some were taken to University Medical Center of El Paso.
'Police are still trying to identify the suspect or suspects in this case.'
Angel Legaspy, 20, was among those caught up in the carnage. His parked car was struck by a hail of bullets during the incident.
'They just started shooting and they just started running around everybody,' he told the New York Times, adding it was 'like all over the place'.

Stationed at Ft Bliss in late 70’s. One of my Mexican soldier’s brother in law was a volleyball nut. We used to go to Ascarate park to play, it had a dozen courts. Every time play was interrupted by gunfire, everyone hit the deck until it was over and then resumed play.
