Four people were killed and one person was wounded early Sunday after more than 40 rounds of ammunition were fired in an “ambush” shooting at a birthday house party in Inglewood. Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched at 1:43 a.m. to a house in the 1300 block of Park Avenue, according to a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher. “This is the largest number of shooting victims that have been injured in this city since the 1990s,” Butts told reporters. The killings come amid a two-year rise in homicides in Los Angeles County — and other places across the country — that has been met with alarm. The city of Los Angeles saw nearly 400 killings in 2021, marking the most homicides of any year since 2007.
