The shooting was reported just after 3 p.m. Wednesday in the area of the 400 block of W. 74th Street.
Police reported five women were shot ranging in ages from 40 to 62. A 36-year-old man was also shot.
At least one of the victims was initially described as being in critical condition and the others in moderate condition. A later update from LAPD said all victims were in stable condition.
They were described as being shot in the lower extremities.
It is believed the victims were all on foot at the time of the shooting and were likely not the intended target, though police have not said who the actual target may have been. Three suspects pulled up in a black car, got out and and opened fire before fleeing the scene, police say.
At least 25 shots were fired. There were more than two dozen evidence markers indicating bullet casings on the ground. Police said from the types of casings it appeared more than one weapon was used.
At least two vehicles at the scene appeared to have sustained gunshot damage. One sedan displayed multiple bullet holes along the side body and at least two in the front windshield.
Witnesses told police the suspects looked like teenagers, but additional information was not available.
A motive for the shooting has not been determined.
