NEW YORK -- At least seven people have been shot near a busy Harlem intersection, and police were searching for the gunman late Monday, police said.

The shooting occurred Monday evening as residents returned to the city after Memorial Day. Police said it wasn't yet clear how many people had been shot or what their conditions were.

Authorities flooded the area near 126th Street and Lenox Avenue and blocked off streets as they searched for suspects. Residents were told to go inside their homes.

The cause of the shooting was not known, but Lenox Avenue was closed from roughly 124th Street to 131st Street.
