Four people shot in Little Rock on Sunday were filming a rap music video when the gunfire started, according to a police report released Monday.

Officers were called at 5:06 p.m. to 3011 W. 12th St., between Johnson Street and South Booker Street. They found a 12-year-old child who had been shot in the left leg, according to the report, and soon learned that three other people with gunshot wounds had been taken to area hospitals for treatment. Two other children, ages 12 and 13, and Phillip Smith, 30, were identified as the victims.

Police said those injured were hospitalized in stable condition.

The four were filming a rap music video when they noticed a blue truck or SUV driving around the block, the report says. At some point, a man wearing a black mask got out of the truck and opened fire. The man was carrying a shotgun or a long rifle.

Other men inside the truck also fired shots, according to the report.

Police recovered multiple shell casings at the scene.

Detailed descriptions of the shooters were not available.
