A teenage boy was killed and two others were injured in a shooting near Tulare's Del Lago Park.

Little is known about the deadly shooting but Tulare police are working to uncover what led to the boy's death.

Early Saturday morning, residents jogged down Paseo Del Lago, many unaware that a shooting had taken place in the quiet neighborhood hours before.

Police began receiving 911 calls just after midnight for reports of gunshots heard near the intersection of Paso Del Lago and Leland Avenue.

Additional callers then began reporting there were three gunshot wound victims near that same intersection.

Police believe the victims were attending a house party in the area.

When officers arrived on scene, they found three teenage boys had been shot. Two of the three teenagers were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Sgt. Andy Garcia said their condition is unknown at this time.

The third teenager died at the scene.
