On October 29, 2023, at around 1:05 a.m., a mass shooting occurred at a business hosting a Halloween party, wounding fifteen people.[1] Police alleged that the shooter was a partygoer that was thrown out of the venue, who later returned with a handgun and fired into a crowd of people. The shooter fled the scene on foot before being arrested by police a short distance away.[2] The party was an unlicensed event attended by over 100 people, and the venue, Studio 1258, has a litany of accusations of dubious activity, with the city receiving hundreds of complaints in the months before the shooting.[3][4]
