Woodland Hills house party shooting leaves 16-year-old boy dead, 6 others injured

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. (KABC) -- A 16-year-old boy was killed and six other men were injured when a shooting broke out overnight at a massive party at a Woodland Hills mansion.

It happened just before 1:30 a.m. Sunday at a large, upscale home in the 5900 block of Winnetka Avenue.

Los Angeles Police told Eyewitness News the suspect was somewhere in the basement of the home when an altercation occurred.

A bouncer or security guard was escorting the suspect out of the home, and when they reached the first floor, the suspect opened fire at the dance floor, police said.

The shooter took off running and remains at large.

Video from the scene shows people running in every direction, some climbing down steep hills into neighbors' yards.

The 16-year-old, who has not been identified, died at the scene.

Six other men, who are all between the ages of 18 and 36, were rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.

The host of the event, a company called Rage Parties, posted on its social media that one of the founders and a security team member were among those hospitalized.

Police started to corral party-goers and get statements within minutes of arriving.

"We have a lot of people to interview, we've identified a bunch, we need to go to the hospital to follow up with the victim to find out what they know," said Lieutenant Guy Golan with LAPD.

Those who attended the party told Eyewitness News that there are multiple cameras at the mansion and they're hoping there's a clear picture of the shooter, but until then investigators are relying on the countless eyewitness accounts.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
