"At least two people were killed and seven others are in critical condition after a mass shooting early Saturday at a large house party in North Carolina, according to officials.

A total of 13 people were shot in the incident just outside of Maxton at around 1:15 a.m. on Saturday, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.

Over 150 people ran from the scene of the shooting before law enforcement arrived, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies were responding to the report of a "loud music violation" when they received "multiple calls reporting that individuals had been shot at the location," according to the sheriff's office.
Jessie Locklear Jr., 49, and Nehemiah Locklear, 16, were found dead at the scene, according to the sheriff's office.

Several other victims also arrived at the Scotland Health Care in Laurinburg and UNC Health Southeastern Medical Center in Lumberton. One other victim was later transported to an undisclosed medical facility with life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff's office."
