WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Walla Walla police say five people have been hospitalized with gunshot and stab wounds after a gang-affiliated birthday party turned bad.
It happened at about 2 a.m. Saturday outside a home frequented by gang members. Officers say a fight broke out when several people with no known gang affiliations stopped by.
Several people were stabbed before someone took out a semi-auto handgun and started firing.
The most seriously injured was identified as Osman Roblero, who was flown to a Portland hospital for two gunshot wounds to the chest.
His 22-year-old brother, Alan, was being treated for a gunshot wound to the head and a stab wound to the abdomen. Three other people were being treated at local hospitals for stab wounds: Haciel Contreras, 22-year-old Juan P. Robles and 42-year-old Louis Camargo.
