At least three men were killed and nine other people were injured in a shooting at a Halloween house party in Long Beach Tuesday night and police were searching for the shooters, police said.
The shooting took place at 10:44 p.m. in the 2700 block of Seventh Street, officials said.
Three victims were confirmed dead at the scene and nine others suffered gunshot wounds, some considered life-threatening, police said.
"The crime scene is horrific; there's blood everywhere," Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna told reporters at a briefing Wednesday morning. "The shooter or shooters fired from an alley behind the residence. Then the shooter or shooters fled in a dark-colored vehicle."
Luna said the three deceased victims were men and the wounded included seven women and two males. There was no update on their conditions, he said.
"Last thing I heard was shots. It was 20 or 30 shots," said a resident, who only gave his first name, Martin.
