A Facebook live stream ended abruptly Tuesday when three men listening to music inside a car in Norfolk, Virginia, were suddenly shot by a gunman.
Police said three men, ages 27 and 29, were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, with two suffering life threatening injuries.
The video posted on Facebook by TJ Williams showed the trio smoking in a car while listening to music. After about five minutes, a string of gunshots are heard and the camera falls to the ground.
After the gunshots stop, a man can be heard saying, "Call an ambulance please." Moments later, a person is heard again asking for an ambulance and providing an address.
A man is then heard repeatedly telling another person to "stay calm, stay relaxed." He says to "stay with me. They're all good — we called the paramedics already." He continues to talk with the presumably injured victims until the ambulance arrives, saying "they are breathing and keep focused on me."
After about 10 minutes, emergency responders can be heard in the background.
The video continues to roll for more than an hour until the phone appears to run out of battery.
"We are aware of the possible incident recorded live to a Facebook page, and Norfolk detectives are looking into it,” Daniel Hudson, spokesman for the Norfolk Police Department told BuzzFeed News.
Police did not have a suspect description and were asking the public for help in locating the gunman.
