No arrests were made in either case and the cause of the shooting was not known. Police are still searching for suspects.
More than 1,000 people attended the 18-and-over "I Love College: Athletes Party Edition'' hosted by Los Angeles-based athletes near Aviation Boulevard and West 111th Street.
On a video advertising the event, promoters described the party as “The Illest Event of the Summer,” and stating that “The city will be shut down.”
Flyers for the event listed the names of some Southern California athletes from USC, UCLA, and other schools, but it is not immediately known if they were in attendance Friday night.
