News Release
UPDATE: Shooting Inside Party Venue in the Buckman Neighborhood - 05/19/19

Investigators with GVRT have determined that there were at least 5 victims injured by gunfire in the shooting. Three of the victims were transported to the hospital by private vehicles. As previously released, two victims were transported by ambulance. All victims have non-life threatening wounds. At least three were released from the hospital after treatment.

The event being held was an "all ages" type party in a warehouse-type building. Officers responding to the original call encountered a chaotic scene, with people leaving on foot and in vehicles. Investigators learned that there was an argument between at least two people immediately before the shooting. But, they believe that numerous potential witnesses left without providing statements to police.
