About 11:40 p.m., police dispatch received reports of shots fired in the 500 block of Shoshone Avenue, west of downtown Nampa, according to police.
“A group of juveniles were having a party at this vacant residential property,” the release said. “While the juveniles were illegally at the property, an altercation broke out and at least one vehicle, possibly two, drove by, shooting at the party-goers.”
