Shooting at a home party in Tacom, Washington, left two dead and four injured, authorities said.
Shortly after midnight Saturday, the MPs were sent to the big party and witnessed 30 to 40 minors who were running and screaming from the house, according to the sheriff department of Pierce County.
“Multiple calls have reported that a battle has erupted on the street,” the Sheriff’s Department said. “Just before the deputies arrived, shots were fired and people and vehicles were running away from the scene. The vehicles were slaughtered in the neighborhood as the chaos embodied the whole street.”
MEPs have set a victim of men on the street and are trying to save life -saving measures, but the man has been declared dead, authorities said.
Five other victims were transported by others to local hospitals, where one succumbed to their injuries. The other victims remain hospitalized, but are expected to recover, according to the Sheriffe Department.
The ages of the victims range from 16 to 21, authorities said.
Authorities claim that homes and vehicles were nearly damaged during the shooting. Investigators remain in place on Saturday morning.
“This is another gloomy reminder of how dangerous parties can be when things become a hand,” said the Sheriffe Department.
