Santa Clara County detectives are investigating a shooting at a party north of Morgan Hill that left one person dead and six injured on July 25.<\/p>\n
Santa Clara County Sheriff\u2019s deputies have not identified any of the victims, or any suspects in the incident that occurred on July 25 at a house party in unincorporated Santa Clara County near Morgan Hill.<\/p>\n
At about 10:16pm, Santa Clara County Sheriff\u2019s deputies responded to Hale Avenue near Miramonte Avenue for reports of intoxicated people in the street and someone throwing bottles at cars, the sheriff\u2019s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Arriving deputies found a \u201cchaotic scene\u201d with more than 300 partygoers hurrying to leave after several gunshots were fired. Multiple people had been shot and required immediate medical attention, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Deputies provided lifesaving aid until emergency medical personnel arrived. One person was pronounced dead at the scene, while six other victims were transported to local hospitals, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
A relocation area was established at the scene for people who arrived after the melee attempting to find friends or family members who had attended the gathering, authorities said. The gathering was an \u201cunsanctioned party promoted through social media,\u201d said the sheriff\u2019s statement. Detectives are following up on leads and working to identify the shooting suspect or suspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tragic and senseless violence is entirely unacceptable,\u201d Sheriff Robert Jonsen said. \u201cOur hearts go out to the victim\u2019s family, those recovering from their injuries and everyone in our community affected by this traumatic event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheriff\u2019s homicide detectives think the violence was an isolated incident, and the preliminary investigation suggests the shooter or shooters used a handgun.<\/p>\n
The Morgan Hill Police Department, Gilroy Police Department, California Highway Patrol and San Jose Police Department responded to the incident, authorities said. Their efforts included lifesaving measures, scene security, traffic control and investigative work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will work tirelessly until those responsible for this horrific act are identified, apprehended and held fully accountable,\u201d said Jonsen.<\/p>\n
Authorities have not identified the victims.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information or video footage of the incident can call or email the sheriff\u2019s office Investigative Services Division at 408.808.4431<\/p>\n
