SAN BERNARDINO, CA — One man was killed and eight other people were wounded during in a shooting at party that drew at least 100 people to a hookah lounge in San Bernardino Friday night, police said Saturday.

Gunfire erupted just before midnight outside a hookah bar near the intersection of Palm and Highland avenues, police said. Witnesses said the group had gathered for a graduation party. One witness told ABC7 that a vehicle pulled up to a gas station, with one person inside the vehicle firing rounds at the crowd, striking two girls.
