One person was killed and 11 other people were wounded in a shooting Sunday morning at a party in western North Carolina, according to the Catawba County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's deputies and Hickory police officers responded to a report of a shooting at a home on Walnut Acres Drive in the Mountain View community, about 57 miles northwest of Charlotte, at 12:45 a.m.

There had been a noise complaint at the home at around 11 p.m. Saturday that deputies responded to, Sheriff’s Maj. Aaron Turk said at a news briefing Sunday afternoon. Deputies addressed it with the residents of the home, had them turn the music down and "left a short time later," Turk said.

Over an hour later, the sheriff's office received multiple 911 calls about a shooting, reporting multiple victims, Turk said. The party included teenagers and people in their 20s and older.

"They discovered what ended up being 12 people shot. One of the 12 was deceased on scene," Turk said. "Another of those 12 was critically injured and is presently at the hospital in Charlotte — in one of the hospitals in Charlotte."
