One person was killed and four others injured after a man opened fire at an overnight party early Sunday in East Hollywood to celebrate the upcoming Black Entertainment Television Awards.
The assailant was a lone gunman who is still at large, said Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The shooting occurred at 5:17 a.m., when the gunman fired several rounds, Madison said. Ambulances transported three victims to a local hospital, where one died. The two others arranged their own hospital transportation.
Investigators have not released information about the victims. The coroner’s office said early Sunday that it had not yet received the case.

Yes. I went to an NRA/BET celebration and gun show and no one was shot there either.
“BET parties and rap concerts are apparently very dangerous.”
Reading news reports such as these, one might come to the conclusion that one ethnic group might be more prone to violence than others.
But that would be racist, wouldn’t it?
Keeping it real.
Hey, someone’s gotta keep it real.
And don’t forget Black Biker Week. Is this really what MLK fought for?
Maybe George Wallace was right.
Man, that’s unusual.
Perhaps the pate was not chilled? Wine not the right vintage? Dear me, good help is SO hard to find nowadays.
I know. All those bullets and only one dead.
Is anybody the slightest bit surprised with what these animals will do?
Leni
Please. Animals behave better.
And John Derbyshire was called a racist for daring to say whites should avoid gatherings of black people.
I’m not surprised. As someone else posted, there have been 27 shootings in Chicago this weekend. And of course there’s the Pride Parade, too.
You couldn’t pay me enough to visit, much live in that hellhole.
Wait till next weekend when the fireworks will mask the gunshots. Chicago will be like Mogadishu, only not as safe.
Second City Cop said 27, I believe, last I checked.
Just wait until the “Taste Of Chicago”. I understand that they give the catered-to constituency free tickets.
How long will OHSA allow the bloodshed to continue?
It seems as if every BET event has fatalities?
It was always said that a death or dismemberment would bring the compliance officers!
This is clearly workplace violence! This should have been a fun event for the multi million dollar rap industry.
Oh, its 0bama’s people.
Never mind.
When is the CET (Caucasian Entertainment Television) awards?
Really with ALL THOSE GUNS? No one got shot at? /s
