1 Killed, 10 Hurt At L.A. Party


  • Incident not believed to be gang-related
  • 8 people were shot, 3 stabbed, police say
  • No one in custody yet, L.A. police spokesman says





Guns, knives and bottles were drawn during a fight after a party early Saturday east of downtown Los Angeles, California, resulting in one death and 10 injuries, police said.

No one is in custody yet, said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Cleon Joseph. The incident was not believed to be gang-related.

Partygoers were leaving a birthday celebration around 2:05 a.m. (5:05 a.m. ET) at a house in the Boyle Heights neighborhood in the 6100 block of the infamous Normandie Ave., when the dispute occurred, Joseph said.

Eight people were shot, one fatally, and three were stabbed. A 22-year-old Hispanic man died of gunshot wounds, police said.

Police earlier Saturday said that 12 people had been shot.
