According to my kid there was a second report of gunfire simultaneously at a different location.
She and her friend heard about the shooting in question and being the sometimes dumbass kids that they are went to where the party was. They showed up just in time to see the ambulance leaving.
I told her if she EVER does something that stupid again she'll be getting her AA from Green Mountain Community College in Pendleton.
