A man was killed and at least 17 other people were injured in a shooting Saturday night at a party thrown by multiple motorcycle clubs in Cleveland, authorities said.
Cleveland police said Sunday that they responded to a call just before midnight Saturday on the city's east side, where they found a 48-year-old man dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Many other victims had left the scene by the time police arrived and began showing up at hospitals across the city overnight, said Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia, a police spokeswoman.
"At this time, it is believed that a total of 18 people were shot," Ciaccia said Sunday afternoon. Some of the injuries were minor, but others required surgery, she said.
NBC affiliate WKYC of Cleveland reported that five of the wounded were in serious or critical condition.
The shooting happened after a fight broke out between two of the motorcycle clubs attending the party, police said. Shots were fired as participants were being ejected, they said.

We will see more of this as the lockdowns are lifted. It is pent-up psychological energy and everyone relearning how to socialize.
Not in all cases.
It started going downhill when “party” changed from a noun to a verb.
“...The shooting happened after a fight broke out between two of the motorcycle clubs attending the party..”
Who knew? What could possibly go wrong between the Angels and the Outlaws?
“...I have ridden on a motorcycle exactly one time in my life...”
I had a couple of rides on Cushman’s as a kid. Never again!
Is Sherrod Brown President of that chapter?
As for MC clubs and doing stupid stuff... I've ridden with a couple a few times each. Not my thing. One is just not a good fit personality-wise for me. The other is a group of hooligans that violate traffic laws and common sense every single ride. I don't mean just a few mph over the speed limit or failing to signal turns. I mean triple-digit speeds on city streets, shutting down intersections as the group rides through, etc. And yes, just about every single ride they have a bike go down and send someone home on a flat bed or in an ambulance.
I've given up on MC clubs and group rides. I do a Marine toys-for-tots run each year and that is it. I ride solo, I may ride "with" another bike or two for a few miles if we happen to meet in traffic and are going the same way. Heck, truth be told I don't even like having my wife on as a passenger. I just want to chase the horizon and see the scenery.

I was wondering about in this particular case.
I just want to chase the horizon and see the scenery.
