A woman is dead and four others are injured after multiple people opened fire at a party in North Carolina, police say.
Winston-Salem police responded just before 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, to a pavilion at Happy Hill Park and found several gunshot victims and a large crowd fleeing the party, according to the Winston-Salem Journal. There were more than 200 people in attendance when the shooting began.
Beatrice Maxine Knights, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene, police told WGHP.
A 34-year-old woman who was shot in the arm, leg and abdomen was taken to the hospital by EMS, the outlet reported. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Other injuries includ a 20-year-old woman who was shot in the arm, a 24-year-old woman who was shot in the face and a 30-year-old man who was shot in the leg, police said, according to WFMY. All three were taken to a hospital by friends, and their injuries also are not considered life-threatening.
