Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins' office mentioned that 13 people were shot at the party, which took place at a home in a rural area outside Maxton, roughly 95 miles (150 kilometers) southwest of Raleigh near the South Carolina border.

Wilkins said the shootings involved two groups attending the event, which drew over 300 people ranging in age from pre-teens to about 50.“There's a lot of interviews taking place, but apparently there was a confrontation between a couple of groups of people and then gunfire between the two started,” Wilkins told WBTW-TV.

The sheriff's office later identified the second person killed as 49-year-old Jessie Locklear Jr. of Lumberton.
