Police said one person drove themself to a hospital and another victim was transported by MEDIC with non-life-threatening injuries.
CMPD Major Gene Lim described what happened at the scene.
"Apparently there's been some kind of party gone wrong if you will, and it just it just disturbs and upsets me that there's that many youth or young adults out here I don't know if their parents are coming. I don't know what their parents even know where they are, but, but this is the kind of thing that that's frustrating, from my vantage point," he said.
