Shooting near Maryland house party Before they arrived on the scene, deputies said a large party was being held at a home in the area. Witnesses told officials that partygoers fled the scene when they heard the gunshots. After an initial investigation, deputies believe the suspect was at the party before the shooting. Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact the sheriff's office at Sheriff-Info@ or by calling 410-758-6666. Search for video Queen Anne's County Sheriff Gary Hofmann said the house party included young adults and teenagers.

"We believe that photos or videos taken at the event, even those not depicting the shooting itself, may contain critical information that could assist in identifying those responsible," he said in a social media post. The sheriff acknowledged that some may be hesitant to share information due to being underage and the presence of alcohol and drugs at the party. However, Hofmann said the focus of the investigation is to bring justice for the victims. "Let us be clear: We are not seeking to prosecute anyone for those actions," he posted. Hofmann doubled down on his statement in the comments of the post, saying, "I can assure you that we are not looking to prosecute anyone for underage drinking, but we are committed to building a very solid good case from the investigators." He described Parsley as "a young man with his whole life ahead of him." "Not only are the families of the young man affected, but the trauma also extends far beyond into those who may have witnessed this, been shot or been in the area when the gunfire occurred," Sheriff Hofmann posted.

1 dead, 11 injured in North Carolina house party shooting
June 2 (UPI) -- One person is dead and 11 others are wounded following a shooting that occurred at a house party in Catawba County, according to authorities, who said they are looking for suspects. The shooting occurred at around 12:45 a.m. local time Sunday at a residence in Mountain View, Catawba County, located about 57 miles northwest of Charlotte. Law enforcement arrived at the scene following multiple reports of shots fired to find 11 people suffering from gunshot wounds and one person dead at the scene, Maj. Aaron Turk of the Catawba County Sheriff's Office told reporters during a press conference. The severity of the injuries was not disclosed, but Turk said one of the victims was critically injured and was taken to a hospital in Charlotte. Of the other 10 victims transported to local hospitals, some had been treated and released, Turk said. He said more than 80 shots were fired in the shooting. Dozens appeared to have been present at the party, and their ages ranged, including some teenagers. No arrests have been made, and authorities said they believe more than one shooter, and multiple guns, were involved. "We are still working to determine when they arrived, how they arrived and what the reasons was for their presence, also the motive," he said. The shooting occurred less than two hours after police were called to the residence over a noise compliant. Turk said officers responded to the residence concerning the noise complaint, spoken with individuals at the home regarding the complain and left shortly afterward. "We don't believe that this was random in a circumstance that might danger the community," Turk said. "All that we can see right now from the crime scene and the leads that we're follow, it seems to be that those that initiated the shooting were focused on the folks at the party." The FBI said it is aiding in the investigation. Catawba County Sheriff Donald Brown added in the press conference that this is not a common crime in the region. "It is frustrating," he said. "This is not a common act or incident that happens here in Catawba County. We live in a great community, and this is something that is extremely rare. Again, I said I talked to some neighbors here -- they are visibly upset. And to our staff that works these types of cases, it's very difficult. It's taxing on them. They've been out here all night." According to The Gun Violence Archive, there have been at least 127 mass shootings involving four or more people shot so far in the United States this year.

Police in Missouri college town shut down The All-American Rejects' backyard gig – but say they let them play one final song
Like a plot out of an emo band music video, The All-American Rejects' joyfully hectic house party tour made a stop in a Missouri college town over the weekend only to have their show shut down by the police, who turned out to be familiar with the music. The band – particularly known well and loved by Millennials and likely played daily over the speakers at your grocery store of choice – have swung through cities in the midwest this month and made some unlikely stops along the way, like backyards and, in one instance, a bowling alley. On Sunday, the band performed in the backyard of a house near the University of Missouri in Columbia. According to a video posted to the band's official TikTok page, the show was ultimately shut down by the police, who allowed the band to play one final song. 'I guess we're getting kicked off campus,' the band's lead singer Tyson Ritter said to the crowd in the clip. As the crowd cheered and screamed-sang along, the band played their popular 2008 hit 'Gives You Hell' before concluding the show. Mark Fitzgerald, the Columbia Police Department's assistant chief of police, told CNN in a statement Wednesday that the band, their security staff and the crowd were 'very cooperative' with officials, despite the concert being 'in violation of several local ordinances.' The officers that responded, according to Fitzgerald, 'listened to a couple of songs' before the patrol sergeant informed the band and their security staff of the rules. The sergeant, Fitzgerald confirmed, 'allowed the band to play a final song before they ended the concert.' 'The Sergeant told me that he knew exactly who the band was and listened to them a lot while he was in college,' Fitzgerald added. 'The Police Department would be happy to have the All-American Rejects return and play in Columbia, hopefully with the proper permits and approval. CNN has reached out to a representative for the band. The show in Missouri marked the All-American Rejects' fifth house party show. They previously played in Green Bay, Chicago, Ames and Minneapolis. During their Minneapolis stop, they added another show because of the turnout, Ritter said in a video posted to his TikTok. The show took place at Memory Lanes, a local bowling alley. The band has been teasing another show – the location of which has not yet been announced – set for Wednesday night. It will be live streamed on their official TikTok page. The seemingly impromptu shows were sparked by a pop-up concert that took place last month at a house on the USC campus in Los Angeles, according to Ritter. 'We've been overwhelmed with the reaction to our LA house party pop-up,' Ritter said in a video posted to the band's TikTok page earlier this month. 'We see all your comments and DMs requesting these house parties in your city and we're going to make it f***ing happen.' Those interested in hosting a performance by the band can apply via a form posted on several of the band's social media pages. They have documented each performance on their social media and have been promoting the release of their latest album, titled 'Sandbox,' out on Friday. The All-American Rejects, formed in 1999, became ubiquitous with the emo music genre during the 2000s when they released their self-titled debut album, which included their first big hit 'Swing Swing.' They are also best known for hits released throughout the decade including 'Move Along,' 'Dirty Little Secret,' 'Gives You Hell' and 'It Ends Tonight.'
