Two people were killed and five others were injured by gunfire after a fight broke out at a party in Norfolk, Virginia, police said.

When police responded to a house near Old Dominion University around midnight, they found four women and three men with gunshot wounds, authorities said.

“The preliminary investigation reveals that there had been a party at that location that had been advertised on social media,” said Michael Goldsmith, the city’s interim police chief, at a news conference.

“Apparently a fight broke out at the party, and once the fight started then somebody pulled out a gun and started shooting.”

Zabre Miller, 25, and Angela McKnight, 19, later died at a hospital, police said.

“We are continuing the investigation in this,” Mr. Goldsmith said at the news conference with Mayor Kenneth Alexander, Norfolk City Manager Chip Filer and Norfolk Sheriff Joe Baron.

“There were multiple firearms involved to include a pistol and a long gun.”
