Two people have been shot and killed and two others wounded at a rap concert in southern Connecticut, the US.

Gunfire erupted at about 11.15pm on Friday (local time) following a Meek Mill concert at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Connecticut, about 145km northeast of New York City, the My Record Journal newspaper reported.

Two people who were wounded were taken to local hospitals in the area with non life-threatening injuries, the newspaper said, citing police.

A dispatcher said it was an ongoing situation and that she could provide no information.

A video posted online purportedly shows rapper Meek Mill leaving the concert hall moments before gunfire rang out and a man telling people to "get down".

Police did not have anyone in custody, the newspaper said.
