A police car is parked in front of 804 W. Springfield Ave.

Two people suffered gunshot wounds after multiple shots were fired at a house party on the 800 block of West Springfield Avenue this morning.

Officers received calls about a shooting around 2:04 a.m., according to an Urbana Police Department press release, and arrived at the location shortly after.

A 21-year-old female University student is being treated for a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the leg, and a 23-year-old Champaign woman has a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the back.

Upon investigation, officials said at least five offenders attempted to enter the house party, which police estimated to have around 200 people in attendance at the time, but were denied entry.

Two people were witnesses to the denied entry, according to the report.

The offenders proceeded to rob the two witnesses of their personal property.

“As the robbery was being committed, several people from the house party came outside and the offenders began shooting,” wrote Lt. Richard Surles of the Urbana Police Department criminal investigations division.

One gunshot entered the house and struck one of the two women. UPD declined to provide additional comments.
