In Cypress in Texas, near Houston, shootings at a house party late Saturday left two dead and at least 22 others wounded.

The shooting started at about 11:15 p.m., with two people suspected of being the gunmen.

More than 100 people were at the house, in the 7300 block of Enchanted Creek Drive, when the shooting started, police told the Houston Chronicle.

The two people killed were one man and one woman.

The injuries of the others range from serious to non-life threatening, as some were shot in the foot or ankle while others were shot in the hip.

Most of the people were aged 17 to 20.

After the shooting started, people began quickly trying to get out of the house, including jumping out of second-story windows, said Thomas Gilliland, spokesman with the Sheriff’s Office.

The party was advertised on Twitter as an 18th birthday party, according to the Chronicle. Police are looking into whether there was alcohol involved.

The two suspects are on the loose.
