Two people have died following a drive-by shooting in California, authorities said.

At around 11:12 p.m. local time on Friday, Sept. 5, police responded to reports of a drive-by shooting in a parking lot outside the Royal Palace Banquet Hall on Stevenson Boulevard in Fremont, the Fremont Police Department (FPD) said in a news release shared on Facebook.

“Preliminary investigation indicates a suspect vehicle drove up to the victims in the parking lot and fired multiple shots,” said police. “This remains a very active and fluid investigation. The suspects in this incident are currently outstanding.”

One person died at the scene and another died in the hospital. There were initially reports by police of a third victim, but they clarified just two victims in an update on Saturday, per ABC7 Los Angeles.

In audio between a 911 dispatcher and responding officers that accompanied the police news release, an officer said they could “hear people screaming” and confirmed two people were down “on the floor in front of the hall.”

Another officer said there were “about 100 people inside the building,” with no reported injuries.
