Not much more info in news reports currently. The shooting was after the party ended, with party-goers being picked up outside. The shooters seem to have been drive-by rather than party-goers, and in a single car. Most who were wounded have been released from the hospital, except for the 2 who died and 4 whose condition is critical.
