A shooting at an unsanctioned party in Morgan Hill left one person dead and seven others injured on Saturday night. Deputies from the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene around 10:15 p.m. following reports of intoxicated people and bottles being thrown at cars. Upon arrival, they found a chaotic scene where more than 300 people were fleeing the area after several gunshots were fired. Preliminary investigations indicate that a handgun was used in the shooting. While authorities initially reported eight victims, they later clarified that a total of seven people were shot, all of whom are adults. The party was promoted via social media and was not officially sanctioned by the city. Sheriff Robert Jonsen stated that the violence was tragic and senseless. The investigation is expected to be lengthy and complex as authorities work to identify and apprehend the person or people responsible for the gunfire.
