A house party turned deadly in Washington state after gunfire erupted, killing two teenagers and wounding 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, 

Deputies said they were dispatched to a home in Spanaway just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday, when 30 to 40 juveniles were reportedly 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.

The street, initially closed off for an investigation, reopened Saturday morning, nearly eight hours after the shooting. Nearby homes and vehicles were damaged by gunfire, said deputies, who found 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.
