READ MORE: Deputies respond to mass shooting at party in Catawba County At least two people fired shots where there were about 100 people at a house party, deputies said. Channel 9's Dave Faherty spoke with a witness who said a gunman fired from a wood line above the home. Deputies are looking into the possibility the gunmen walked in from the road. The FBI, State Bureau of Investigation and Catawba County sheriff's deputies were back at the scene Monday morning. Shawn Patrick Hood, 58, was shot and killed inside the home at the party that had people as young as 16 years old. There was a coverage charge for people without identification, according to a Snapchat post. Investigators said multiple weapons were used in the shooting and as many as 80 rounds were fired. No one has been charged in connection with the shooting. One of the shooting victims spoke with Faherty. Some people at the party returned fire possibly saving lives, said Quentin Malone, who still had a bullet lodged in his ankle. 'I was trying to run and get out but since there was so many people, people were just falling over each other and tripping over each other,' Malone said. 'I just, honestly, I froze. I didn't know what else to do. And if there weren't other people there that started firing back, I honestly think it would have been way worse than what it was.' Alcohol Law Enforcement is involved in the investigation and agents are looking into the possibility of people drinking underage. Investigators are expected to be at the scene until Wednesday. The FBI is asking anyone who has video, pictures , or tips about the shooting to contact them here. VIDEO: Deputies respond to mass shooting at party in Catawba County

State says Burke County train cabins can't be used for permanent housing
The North Carolina Department of Insurance said revamped train car cabins being sold in Hildebran can't be used to live in full time, according to Burke County. Channel 9's Dave Faherty spoke with Innovative Bridge Company, the company trying to market these unconventional units to people recovering from Hurricane Helene. 'I think it's absolutely awesome,' Jade Cramer, an Innovative Bridge Company employee said. 'We are doing something that is helping the community…helping people who have lost so much, and I think it's one of the coolest things I've been able to be a part of.' Channel 9 has extensively covered the progress in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene devastated the mountain region in September. SPECIAL SECTION >> Hurricane Helene Stories Burke County Building Inspectors described the cabins as a temporary housing space, noting the 40-foot long, two-bedroom, two-bathroom cabins lack a kitchen. 'They are not up to standards of a manufactured home and don't meet state building codes,' inspectors said. However, workers at the Innovative Bridge Company said the $5,500 cabins can be used for a variety of things, including temporary bridges for areas impacted by Helene. On their website, the Innovative Bridge Company says they're 'great for hunting and fishing camps.' 'It is different,' Rick Hollifield, a visitor to the area, said. 'Make a great construction office or anything you choose to make out of it.' The company says it encourages people interested in buying them to check with their county first before making a purchase. 'We've had a ton of interest in them,' Kramer said. 'We're trying to keep as many of them up here as we can, but they are just going out as quickly as we get them up here and get them cleaned.'
