(KRON) -- One teenager died and several other people were injured in a shooting at a house party overnight on Sunday, the Antioch Police Department confirmed.
Just before 1 a.m. several 911 calls reported a shooting at a residence on Sunset Lane. When officers arrived on scene, they found several victims and a large crowd. Witnesses at the scene told police that a birthday party was being held for a 19-year-old at a residence on the street.
Witnesses said that shots were fired after several uninvited guests arrived at the party. Because the gathering was large, the gunshots created a panic and partygoers dispersed around the neighborhood. Some victims drove themselves to local hospitals after the shooting.

Police determined a total of seven people were shot. An 18-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital where she died. One 18-year-old man, two 19-year-old women, and one 19-year-old man suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds. Two 20-year-old women also suffered non-life threatening injuries in the shooting, police said.
The suspect or suspects in the shooting fled the scene in a vehicle before police arrived. Police have not made contact with any suspected shooters. This is an active investigation, and detectives are interviewing witnesses to identify any persons of interest.
