What they're saying:

Witnesses who attended the party said there was some kind of argument between someone living in the home and someone they didn't know. 

"The arguing happened in front. They went outside, and they just started shooting, and we all just kind of, like, dropped to the floor and ducked and tried to go in the room with the guy that was shot. Make sure he didn’t bleed out," witness Laay said. 

"There was a lot of random people that shouldn't have been there. A lot of sh** that happened. My friend is in the hospital right now, so praying for him," another witness, Tiece, told FOX 10.

The witnesses said the victims are three of their friends — one woman and two men. They said the woman is expected to be OK, while the two men are in critical condition. One of the men is reportedly still unconscious in the ICU, according to the friends. 

What we don't know:

Officers have not released information about the suspected shooter and the events leading up to the gunfire.
