Two teenagers were killed in a shooting during a Halloween party in Thonotosa, Florida early Tuesday morning. One of the teenagers was killed and another injured, police said.
Deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said the victim was a female student at Bloomingdale High School. Her name has not been released, according to Fox 13 Tampa.
Police said they received 911 calls around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday at a home in the 9000 block of Harney Road reporting a shooting. Upon arrival, the deputy located a male subject with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and is expected to recover.

We are asking the public to contact us with any partygoers who left the scene prior to our arrival. It is unclear at this time whether this incident involved one suspect or multiple suspects.”
