Three people were wounded Saturday night when someone fired shots into a crowd of people attending a birthday party.

Lafayette Police say they were called to the 800 block of Delord Street around 10 p.m. They found a man there who had been shot; his injuries are described as not life-threatening. Two other people were shot and brought to local hospitals by private transportation, police say. Their wounds also are described as not life-threatening.

Investigators are working the case, but they're also asking for information from the public.
