Police say that at least seven people were shot, killing two, at a party in Yuma, Arizona, late Saturday night.
Police officials said that no suspects were in custody Sunday as agents worked to find out who or who did the deadly act. Police say there is a $1,000 prize for information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of the people who did it.
Lt. Craig Johnson of the Yuma Police Department said that the shooting happened in a private area southeast of downtown Yuma just before 11 p.m.
Johnson said that when officers got to the scene, they found several people who were hurt.
Police officials said in a statement made on Sunday that several off-duty police officers were in the area when the shooting started and quickly went to help.
Authorities say that a 19-year-old man who was badly hurt at the scene was taken to the hospital by a private car before the cops arrived. Police said that the teen was declared dead at Yuma Regional Medical Center not long after he or she was taken there.
The Yuma Fire Department found a 20-year-old man at the scene with a gunshot wound. They took him to Yuma Regional Medical Center, where he was declared dead, police said.
According to officials, a 16-year-old boy who suffered life-threatening injuries in the shooting was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center before being flown to a trauma center in Phoenix, which is more than 200 miles away.
Police said that four other teens, ages 15 to 19, were being treated at Yuma Regional Medical Center for injuries that did not threaten their lives.
Even though the suspect or suspects were still at large on Sunday, Johnson said there was no real threat to the neighborhood at the moment.
