LOS ANGELES â€" Eight people were shot â€" one fatally â€"
and another three stabbed Saturday after a fight broke out at a birthday
party, authorities said.
One man,
Steven </span>Lopez</span></font>, 22, died at the scene and
two other gunshot victims were taken to County-USC Medical Center with
critical injuries, police said.
A dispute at the late-night house party in the Boyle
Heights neighborhood escalated until several people pulled out guns and
knives.
The condition of the other five shooting victims was
described only as stable and there was no word on the condition of the
stabbing victims, but all the remaining victims were expected to
survive.
"I've never seen so many aggravated assaults in one
scene," Capt. Anita Ortega told the Los Angeles Times.
No arrests have been made. Ortega said that different
kind of
shell </span>casings</span></font> at the scene suggested
multiple shooters.
The incident does not appear to be gang related,
authorities said.
"We have no indication that this was a gang site,"
Ortega said. "Only that it was a house party open to everyone with a fee
of $10 and a lot of beer."

A woman drove a truck through a fence in Evans
this weekend, hitting and injuring another woman, before a crowd pulled
the driver from the vehicle and beat her, police said.
The incident involved at least 15 people - all extended family
members celebrating two September birthdays - and it happened at about
6:20 a.m. Saturday in the 4100 block of Denver Street, according to
Evans Police.
An alcohol-fueled argument escalated into a violent string of events
ending with several arrests, said Rita Wolf, an Evans Police Department
spokeswoman.
Sandra Flores, 31, is accused of driving a 1997 Dodge pickup truck
through a fence, injuring a 23-year-old woman, who is related to Flores.
Flores was then pulled from the truck
and assaulted by four people - two sets of couples by
marriage - who happen to be her cousins, Wolf said.
Flores and the woman who was hit by the truck were both taken to
North Colorado Medical Center. Flores remains in the hospital this
morning. When discharged, she'll be taken to the Weld County Jail and
booked on suspicion of attempted vehicular homicide, among other
possible charges, Wolf said.
Details on the injuries of the woman hit by the truck were not
available.
Four people arrested on suspicion of assaulting Flores, according to
police, are: Arcadio Arias, 36; Isabel Luna, 32; Ezekiel Estrella, 31;
and Victoria Margarita Luna, 29.
Arias and Isabel Luna are married to each other, Wolf said, as is
Estrella and Victoria Luna. Isabel Luna's birthday
was Saturday; Victoria Luna's birthday was Sunday.

Must be the good family people that Jorge Bush said that just want to come here to do the jobs that Americans don't want to do.
