According to The Los Angeles Times, three people were shot early Tuesday during the large party at a mansion on Mulholland Drive, in Beverly Crest, authorities said. At the time, only a few details were available, but the LAFD said the shooting occurred around 12:45 a.m. A man who said he was working security for the party also confirmed that it was being thrown for an unidentified NFL player, CBS Los Angeles reported. Videos from the large gathering posted on social media appear to even capture the moment shots were fired.

CBS is reporting that two of the victims are in critical condition and a third was in grave condition but has since died. As of right now, it is unclear if anyone has been arrested.
Police received at least five calls from residents earlier in the day who reported instances of disturbing the peace in the neighborhood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
