Two people were killed and six others injured in a mass shooting at a crowded afterparty in downtown Los Angeles early Monday, according to police.

Officers responded around 11 p.m. on Sunday after spotting someone running into a building where the party, attended by 50 to 60 people, was taking place, ABC News reported. At the time, police reportedly arrested one person for firearm possession and cleared the scene — but around 1 a.m., officers were called back after reports of gunfire at the same location.
