At least eight people were injured in a shooting late Friday at a pool party in a Carson neighborhood.
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's Carson Station responded to reports of a shooting at around 11:57 p.m. Friday on Alameda Street at what neighbors said was a house party. Shots were fired in a cul-de-sac outside the home, the sheriff's department said at an afternoon news conference.
Two of the victims were in critical, but stable condition. Six others suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Some of the victims, who ranged in age from 16 to 24, were transported by others at the party to hospitals.
Witnesses said it appeared parents arrived at the house after the shooting to pick up kids.
