The officers who responded found five people, the first officer near a white van and three occupants who had been shot. Two of them had been killed and another was injured, the report said.

Boone County Shooting, Two Dead

This incident comes days after another shooting that took place in Boone County, Missouri when two teenagers were fatally shot and four other teens were injured during a party at a vacant house. 

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office said that deputies had responded to a gun firing call made at 1 am at the house in Columbia, about 35 miles north of Jefferson City, according to CNN.
