One person was killed and eight others were injured in a shooting at a large party in San Bernardino late Friday.

Officers were called just before midnight to a shooting at a business in the 3600 block of East Highland Avenue near Palm Avenue, where a large crowd had gathered, said Sgt. Equino Thomas of the San Bernardino Police Department.

A crowd of about 100 people were attending the party at a hookah lounge, NBC4 reported.

Shots reportedly were also fired across the street at a Mobil gas station, according to KTLA.“ We just heard gunshots and a lot of kids running,” a witness who did not want to be named told the TV station. “Most of the kids were under 18 years.”

One victim was found outside the party and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The eight others injured were either taken to a hospital or transported themselves. Their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Thomas said.

The dead person’s identity was withheld pending notification of family.

The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, and a description of the suspected shooter was not available.

Police said they believe the shooting, which stemmed from a conflict in a crowded room, did not target the specific victims.
