    6 hurt during shooting at Calif. teen's party

    ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP) — Six people, including five teens, were injured when gunfire erupted at a girl's 16th birthday party in the San Francisco Bay area, authorities said Sunday.

    Police in Antioch believe three or four male partygoers opened fire Saturday night when two groups began arguing, said police Lt. Scott Willerford. Violence is not common in the neighborhood in Antioch, which is about 38 miles northeast of San Francisco.

    "Weapons were brandished and numerous shots were fired from multiple guns," Willerford said.

    The gunfire wounded a 13-year-old boy, two 16-year-old boys, two 18-year-old men and a 21-year-old woman, police said. Their injuries ranged from a minor grazing wound to an abdomen wound, police said. Police did not say how many shots were fired, or specify what kind of weapons were used.

    Three of the wounded have been released from hospitals, but the 13-year-old, an 18-year-old and the woman remained in serious but stable condition, police said. Their names have not been released.

    Police are looking for three or four suspects described as "young men," but acknowledge they haven't been able to obtain more detailed descriptions. Willerford said callers reporting the shooting had said between 70 and 80 people were at the party, but many of them ran away when the gunfire broke out.

    Authorities said the party was being thrown by the girl's parents.

        hey, 6 hours ago for this posting and thousands of postings in the interim. see how yahoo jerks your chain. give you an emotional story as if it were world news and let you respond as if the reporting were concise. a majority of the "other" postings referred to the lack of designating the race of the individuals involved. uh huh. yeah, it shouldn't matter, but it is only a lie by omission. if you want real news go to google, or better yet the BBC. these unethical individuals only want to jerk your chain. capiche?

        Seriously. I sure hope everybody "got respect," or whatever, at that party, and it was all worth it.

        @john, It was a common practice 100 years ago to take one's family out for a picnic in the park on the east coast(especially the southeast) for talking with friends,nieghbors, and have a nice time HIGHLIGHTED by the public lynching of one or two african americans and the beatings of other minorities(asians, irish). As a society I say we got better.
      • charlie 4 mths ago
        D...you have to be a black that has been preached to on your picnics how bad the world is to blacks ....omfg.....I read Johns comment 3 times to see what he said had anything to do with racism....I would bet my last buck your black between 18 to 30ish....black children see no color and black people close to 40 and up are the nicest dam people you will want to meet!!

      For a State with some of the strictest gun laws in the Nation, there sure are a lot of shooting... What gives???
      • Speakerboner 4 mths ago
        Im from Pa. We have very liberal gun regulation for law abiding citizens and super stiff penalties for those thugs who commit crimes with guns. Hence the lack of (living or free) thugs .AS IT SHOULD BE.
      • Intercept 4 mths ago
        its cuase only the gang members have the guns. hence the law abiding people cant defend themselves properly
      • bobby 4 mths ago
        They had guns for self-defense in case of a shooting at the party, which is exactly what you gun rights nuts want isn't it?
    • WillyWonka  •  North Tonawanda, New York  •  4 mths ago
      These boys are so anxious to carry a gun, sign 'em up and ship their punk #$%$ to the Middle East.

        ohhh voodoo I like how u think!
      • wolf 4 mths ago
        Nope..when they get out of the service they train the rest of the gang in tactics. Just drop em with an empty gun...
    • IZ  •  Greensboro, North Carolina  •  4 mths ago
      What kind of party is it, where apparently most of the attendees 16 years old (+/-), that has at least 3 or 4 people carrying guns?? Totally despicable!
      • Carlos 4 mths ago
        degradation of black people has reached the point of no return.

        I gotta ask... For what reason would my comment be given a thumbs-down???!!!! (I can't imagine one.)
      • Sephia 4 mths ago
        It got thumbs down from people who enjoy carrying guns to parties of children! O.o
    • Artie  •  Brockton, Massachusetts  •  4 mths ago
      Thanks to lowlifes like these,16 years old is considered middle aged.
    • highway  •  4 mths ago
      What kind of party is that for 16 year olds with guns all over the place!!!!!! sure not a sweet sixteen party for sure!!!!
    • adarc  •  4 mths ago
      Nice group of kids. Mom & Dad always remember, make the thugs who come to your daughter's sweet 16 party check their weapons with their coat, this will prevent any unplanned gunplay.
    • Tony  •  Norfolk, Virginia  •  4 mths ago
      I thought their strict gun laws would prevent stuff like this. You mean to suggest that gun laws only affect those that obey the law? What?
    • 3rd Coast  •  4 mths ago
      I think it’s the glorification of the gangster life style that makes these kids think this is cool and acceptable behavior . I blame there parents and the media.
    • Lisa  •  Lee's Summit, Missouri  •  4 mths ago
      Wow, shooting up birthday parties seems to be a trend in Antioch, CA. Back in August, 16-year-old Martin Navarro was shot and killed at a birthday party in Antioch. Five gang members were later arrested and charged in his death.
    • Tom  •  4 mths ago
      Never invite the Crips and the Bloods to the same party.
    • SARGE  •  Missoula, Montana  •  4 mths ago
      Looks like California's strict gun laws aren't very effective !!
    • Matt  •  Hastings, Minnesota  •  4 mths ago
      To all the kids at this party. Do not breed!!!
    • Greycrow  •  4 mths ago
      I lived in Antioch but moved once it became the section 8 capital of California. they started shipping kids in from Richmond and it went down hill from there.
    • Dooinok  •  Springfield, Missouri  •  4 mths ago
      These punks are misfits in society.....as they get older they will be a drain on society and taxpayers. Long prison sentences are needed so they don't harm again.....at least for many years.
    • Jim123  •  4 mths ago
      When I was a kid, our birthday parties had piñatas, pin the tail on the donkey, cake, paper hats and plastic horns, and maybe a trip to the public pool or movie theater. Try as I might I can't remember any of my friends ever getting shot.

      Boy, did I ever get ripped off in my childhood! (/sarcasm)
    • PorchNegro  •  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania  •  4 mths ago
      Like Mr. Bill Cosby has so eloquently stated: "Black on black crime, drug and alcohol abuse, and a stubborn proclivity towards embracing the most ignorant and juvenile, criminal and self defeating culture and mentality, has done more to to hurt black people than anything ole Whitey ever did."
    • Jimi  •  Tucson, Arizona  •  4 mths ago
      I remember playing duck, duck, goose at B-day parties. Now they play duck, duck, I said duck #$%$ (lol) Happy Birthday kid! Next year ask for Kevlar.
