A quiet North Carolina city was rocked by a mass shooting at a high school house party overnight that left one person dead and 11 others wounded, according to cops.

Cops were called to a home near Hickory — about 60 miles northwest of Charlotte — at around 12:45 a.m. Sunday where they found 12 shooting victims, according to Catawba County Sheriff’s

Office.

Many of those attending the party were local high school students, witnesses told WSOC.

“As soon as I heard the shots, everybody started scattering off, ducking our heads, running off toward our cars, toward safety. And I called my friend, and he said, ‘Call 911. I need help,'”

one teenage party goer said.
