The death was confirmed by the Essex County District Attorney's Office. Lynn Police Department Lt. Tom Reddy described at least one other victim as having "life-threatening" injuries.
Those injured were hospitalized, with two of them in critical condition, according to the media outlet.
Police said a filming project was taking place in Lynn, about 11 miles north-northeast of Boston, when gunfire was reported at 5:35 p.m.
A witness told NBC Boston that the gunfire sounded like "a spray" of bullets.
Also, three people were dead and at least three others injured after a person opened fire at random in a bowling alley in Rockford, Illinois, on Saturday evening.
