Shots were fired at a house party in Brooklyn last night, leaving nine people shot and four people injured, according to police officials. Authorities say that one victim is in critical condition and "clinging to life" this morning.
No suspects have been arrested so far, but CBS reporter Ilana Gold says police are looking for multiple gunmen.

A group of men allegedly opened fire on the party at Stanley Avenue and Crescent Street after a fight broke out around 2:30 a.m. The New York Post reports that one of the victims was found a block away at Loring Avenue and Crescent.
A neighbor told the Post that the scuffle spilled out in the streets. "I was on my way to the store," he said. "Everyone laid down on the ground, and when the shooting stopped, everyone got up and ran. Everyone scattered."
