*UPDATED

MONTBELLO -- Three people were wounded early Saturday when gunfire erupted at a birthday party, authorities said.
The possibly gang-related shooting occurred just before 3 a.m. in a residential neighborhood in the 900 block of Los Angeles Avenue, Montebello police Lt. Richard Meadows said.
Two men and a woman, all estimated to be in their 20s, suffered gunshot wounds, he said. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
The victims were standing in front of a home when the shooting began, Montebello police Lt. Brad Keller said.
"The shooter or shooters approached from a breezeway and started firing rounds," he said.
A man was shot in the stomach, another man was shot in the leg and foot and a woman was shot in the foot, he said.
The attack appeared to be unprovoked, police said.
No description of the shooter or shooters was available, Keller said, however the incident may have been gang-related. One of the victims is a known gang member.
