Early on Sunday morning, June 1, a tragic shooting at a house party in Mountain View, a quiet community near Hickory, North Carolina, left one person dead and eleven others injured. The Catawba County Sheriff’s Office reports that at approximately 12:45 a.m., authorities were called to a residence on Walnut Acres Drive.

There were about 100 guests, including children, at the pool party when the shooting happened. According to a resident who spoke to WBTV, the gunfire appeared sporadic and occurred primarily outdoors. The front and back yards, the house itself, and even a nearby yard are all part of the crime scene.
