"We were sitting out here last night, me and a friend on the porch with my girlfriend," said neighbor Christopher Buchanan. "And we (saw) a bunch of police cars down there and we kind of didn't know what was going on. And we just kind of stayed outside to see what happened. But once I (saw) the detective cars ..."
Hilary Golston: "You knew."
"(I) knew," he said.
Police say everyone involved knew each other at the event, on Metattal near Acacia.
Investigators say all the victims- three women, and a man, suffered non-life threatening injuries wounded but expected to be okay.
Neighbor James Carl said when the shooting started, it became chaotic.
"I’m not sure what happened, but earlier in the day I drove by and there (were) a lot of cars out there, barbecue pits in the front yard, and just an array of things," Carl said.
