Two people were killed and six others wounded in a mass shooting at a crowded afterparty in downtown Los Angeles early Monday morning, according to law enforcement officials.

The incident occurred at a building where an estimated 50 to 60 people had gathered for a party late Sunday night.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department initially responded to the location around 11 p.m. after observing an individual running into the building, according to ABC News.

During that initial response, police arrested one person for firearm possession and subsequently cleared the scene.
