Two people were killed and four were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after gunfire erupted at a Halloween party in Illinois early Sunday morning, police said.
At least a dozen people were shot at the party on Jackson Street in Joliet Township, the Will County Illinois Sheriff’s Office said. The incident took place around 12:39 a.m. at the backyard of a house where 200 people had gathered to celebrate Halloween.
The deadly shooting took place outside the residence, near a DJ booth that was set up in the backyard, according to police.
The shots came "from an elevated position on a porch looking down over the crowd," the sheriff's office said.
