One person was killed and eight others were injured in a shooting at a large party in San Bernardino late Friday.
Officers were called just before midnight to a shooting at a business in the 3600 block of East Highland Avenue near Palm Avenue, where a large crowd had gathered, said Sgt. Equino Thomas of the San Bernardino Police Department.
A crowd of about 100 people were attending the party at a hookah lounge, NBC4 reported.
A witness said shots were also fired across the street at a Mobil gas station, KTLA reported.
One victim was found outside the party and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The eight others injured were either taken to a hospital or transported themselves. Their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Equino said.
The dead person’s identity was withheld pending notification of family.
The motive for this shooting is still under investigation, and a description of the suspected shooter was not available.
Police said they believe the shooting, which stemmed from a conflict in a crowded room, did not target the specific victims.
