Police in the San Francisco Bay area said four people were killed and “several” others were injured in Orinda, where gunfire apparently erupted at a Halloween party Thursday night.

The shooting, which occurred just before 11 p.m., took place in a quiet neighborhood on a hill, at an event hosted inside an Airbnb rental, about 17 miles east of downtown San Francisco. By the time officers arrived, more than 100 attendees were fleeing from the house party.

Three victims were pronounced dead at the scene and another died later at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County’s trauma center, according to a statement released Friday by the sheriff’s department.

Ambulances rushed three other injured victims to center before midnight, said Ben Drew, a spokesperson for John Muir.

“One is in critical condition, one is in serious condition and one was treated and released,” he said.
