A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot and two other people were injured at a house party in Highland on Friday night.

The shooting, which took place after a verbal argument between several people at the party, was reported at 11:19 p.m., the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said Saturday in a statement.

When the shots were fired, more than 200 partygoers were stuffed into a home in the 7500 block of Weaver Street, authorities said. When deputies arrived at the house, they learned that moments earlier, three people from the party were shot and were being driven to a hospital by other partygoers.

As they drove, the partygoers carrying the gunshot victims flagged down an ambulance that made its way toward the house, authorities said.

The victims were transported to the hospital, where the 16-year-old boy, a Rialto resident, was later pronounced dead. The two others, a 22-year-old man from San Bernardino and a 16-year-old girl from Rialto were also treated for gunshot wounds, but their injuries were not life threatening. The Rialto girl suffered a graze wound and was released from the hospital.

Authorities did not immediately release information on a possible suspect or suspects. If arrested, the suspects would be booked under suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

Jodi Miller, spokeswoman for the department, said detectives were still interviewing witnesses Saturday afternoon.

“There is no further information available for release at this time,” Miller wrote in an email.
