3 Dead, Many More Wounded in Shooting During Party



One person was taken in for questioning and two more people were being sought after a shooting during a house party in the West Adams area killed three people and injured several others early Saturday morning, police said.

When officers responded to the shooting at around 12:30 a.m. in the 2800 block of Rimpau Boulevard, around 50 people were running from the scene that was described as “chaotic,” said Sgt. Frank Preciado of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police said an argument broke out at a house party, where as many as three people left the residence, came back with firearms, and started shooting.

“This is one of the most horrific crime scenes I’ve seen in a while,” Preciado said, adding that the neighborhood is relatively quiet.

At least 12 other people were injured, police said. Some of them are in critical condition and some of them have minor injuries. The Los Angeles Fire Department treated victims at the scene.

Police are still looking for two other gunmen. Descriptions of the shooters were not immediately available.
