Four people were shot at a raucous barbecue in a Bronx park, leaving one victim dead and the others, including an 11-year-old boy, wounded, police said Sunday.

At least one of three men cops are looking for pulled out a gun and began to fire off shots into the crowd. The men fired off indiscriminate rounds into the sea of partygoers and took off, police said.

EMS rushed three of the victims to local hospitals. Later, a 22-year-old man walked into Lincoln Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.
