Jake Heflin of the Long Beach Fire Department told KABC that the shooting took place at a Halloween party and all patients transported may have been hit by gunfire. Heflin added that the suspects remain at large, although the exact number of suspects involved was not clear and a description was not available.
Multiple shell casings could allegedly be seen in the alley outside the home where the shooting took place which indicates that the shooting took place outside, according to ABC News’ Los Angeles station KABC.
The number of suspects involved in the crime was undisclosed but authorities said they remain at large and that the motive of the shooting is currently unknown.
