A huge party in California that defied the state's stay-at-home orders to combat coronavirus came to a "bad end" early Saturday with six people shot, authorities said.
Deputies responding to a call about the shooting discovered that it happened at a party being held at an apartment complex in Bakersfield, the Kern County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook.
“Unfortunately, it came to a bad end,” said Sheriff’s Lt. Cesa Ollague.
