    Eight people have been injured, one a 3-year-old girl, in a shooting in Baltimore in the US state of Maryland.

    A police spokesman said they were seeking three armed suspects who fled on foot. 

    None of the injuries was life-threatening, and the victims included a father and his 3-year-old daughter, Associated Press reported.

    The spokesman tweeted that the suspects ran after the shooting and that one of them was armed with a shotgun and the other two had handguns.

    At the scene, police had at least three blocks cordoned off and were keeping away bystanders and reporters.
