Deputies in Florida are searching for at least one suspect who opened fire at a bar early Sunday and wounded five victims during a party with dozens of guests, authorities said.

Gunfire erupted just after 3 a.m. at the Tally Ho Bar Lounge and Grill at 7402 North 56th Street in Tampa, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said.

Responding deputies arrived and found a large group of people at that location for a party organized by the business. No victims, however, had remained at the scene.

Five victims with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds arrived by other means at different local hospitals, the sheriff’s office said.
