12 People Shot At Home In Long Beach Tuesday Night, 3 Dead

LONG BEACH (CBSLA) — A dozen people were shot at a home in Long Beach Tuesday night.

According to the Long Beach Fire Department, fire crews responded to a shooting at a home in the 2700 block of 7th Street at 10:44 p.m.

Firefighters found 12 patients — three dead men in their 20s and nine others with gunshot wounds taken to the hospital in unknown condition. Police said they did not know whether there were any other victims who took themselves to the hospital before police arrived on scene.

According to police, a suspect opened fire at what neighbors said was a Halloween party taking place at the home. According to police, the suspect fled the scene — but it was unknown whether the suspect fled on foot or in a vehicle.

The suspect was still at large, and Long Beach police did not immediately release a description.
