A house party in Washington state turned tragic as gunfire broke out, resulting in the deaths of two teenagers and injuring several others, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.

As of Saturday morning, deputies confirmed there was a suspect in custody, described as a teenage male, in the fatal shooting, 

According to deputies, they were dispatched to a Spanaway home shortly before 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, where 30 to 40 juveniles were seen running and screaming from a house party.

Officials said multiple callers reported a fight breaking out in the street and shots being fired just before deputies arrived.

Authorities have not confirmed the number of shooters.

Initially, the street was closed off for investigation but reopened Saturday morning, nearly eight hours following the shooting. Nearby houses and vehicles were also hit by gunfire, with deputies finding several shell casings.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office is expected to provide further updates as more information becomes available.

“This is another grim reminder of how dangerous parties can be when things get out of hand. Our deputies and first responders have dealt with a lot in the last 24 hours, and we would hate to respond to more unnecessary deaths. Please be safe,” the department said.
